Subject: TAB: Telephone Call From Istanbul by Tom Waits This is the tab/chrords for the _Big Time_ version of... Telephone Call From Istanbul Tom Waits (The FWY version is either a 1/2 step up or down, i can't remember, this one is in the key of Fm) the chords: Verse Chorus Fm Bbm C Bbm7 Eb Ab Bbm* C Fm* e --x-- --6-- --x-- --6-- --x-- --x-- --9-- --8-- --8-- B --9-- --6-- --8-- --6-- --6-- --9-- -11-- --8-- --9-- G -10-- --6-- --9-- --6-- --8-- --8-- -10-- --9-- -10-- D -10-- --8-- -10-- --6-- --8-- -10-- -11-- -10-- -10-- A --8-- --8-- -10-- --x-- --8-- -11-- --x-- -10-- --8-- E --x-- --6-- --x-- --6-- --x-- --x-- --x-- --8-- --8-- T i like to play the verse chords with as many fingers as i can. (does that make any sense?) i think it allows for a more controled muting. it also sounds good to barre them. of course it also sounds goo to playy the bass part of the verses. it goes like this: Fm Bbm C Fm e|------------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------| B|------------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------| G|------------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------| D|------------------|-------3-------3-|-------5-------5-|------------------| A|-------3--------3-|-1-3/4---1-3/4---|-3-5/7---3-5/7---|-------3--------3-| E|-1-3/4----1-3/4---|-----------------|-----------------|-1-3/4----1-3/4---| repeat that a couple times (words: [Fm]all ..
