Buzz Fledderjohn
Tom Waits
OK I know this isn’t a faithful exact copy of the song but if you are playing on an acoustic on your own this is a simplistic pared down version that’s quite soothing to play. As always any mistakes are mine if you see any howlers let me know and I’ll sort it. If you like it RATE IT - flatwound - For this riff just put your fingers in the Am position then use your pinkie finger in the E string 3rd fret then you can drag strum or pick with your index finger while your thumb picks the bass notes on the E and A strings BUZZ FLEDDERJOHN B|----1-----------------1----| G|----2-----------------2----| REPEATS OVER AND OVER A|--0----------------0-------| E|--------0----3-------------| I stood on the roof of Stuart’s old dodge To get a better look at the Fledderjohn’s lodge Bait shop Pistols and ammo too Nothing but books about World War Two Rottweiler Doberman Pinkerton guard I ain’t allowed in Buzz Fledderjohn’s yard I ain’t allowed No I ain’t allowed I ain’t allowed in Buzz Fledderjohn’s yard I seen a python swallow a doberman whole Piranha swimming in a mixing bowl Papers full of stabbings The sky is full of crows She’s singing in Italian While she’s hanging out her clothes Carp in the bathtub And it’s raining real hard I ain’t allowed in Buzz Fledderjohn’s yard I ain’t allowed No I ain’t allowed I ain’t allowed in Buzz Fledderjohn’s yard Well a sailor’s ringing doorbells Sinners in the pew The weather vane is squeaking to the west I seen the cliffs of Dover and the deepest ocean blue The one thing in the world I can recommend to you ’Cause I ain’t allowed No I ain’t allowed No I ain’t allowed In Buzz Fledderjohn’s yard
