------------------------------------- TRAMPLED ROSE - Tom Waits ------------------------------------- Capo 3 (chords written as standard) The main part of the song is 4/4, but the riff at the end of (almost) every line is in timing. Every instrument kind of does their own thing on the riff, but i think this the gist of it...
