Another old Waits tune I couldn t find on here, so
worked out a simple version, I m not 100% about the
lyrics, but it s the best I could hear.
Oh and the Am chord is really just a step up from

A SIGHT FOR SORE EYES
A sight for sore eyes, It s a long time no see
Workin hard hardly workin , Hey man you know me
Water under the bridge, Did ya see my new car
Well it s bought and it s paid for, Parked out-side of the bar
And hey barkeep whats keeping you, Keep pouring drinks
For all these palookas, Hey you know what I thinks
That we toast to the old days, And Di-Mag-gio too
An old Drysdales and Mantle, Whitey Ford and to you
Oh you know the ol gang ain t around, Everyone has left town
Cept for Thelma n Giardina, Said they just might be down
Oh half drunk all the time, An I m all drunk the rest
Monks still the champion, Oh but I am the best
And hey barkeep whats keeping you, Keep pouring drinks
For all these palookas, Hey you know what I thinks
That we toast to the old days, And Di-Mag-gio too
An old Drysdales and Mantle, Whitey Ford and to you
Guess you heard about Nash, He was killed in a crash
Oh that must have been two, Or three years ago now
Yeah, he spun out and he rolled, Hit a telephone pole
And died with the radio on
Flo she s married with a kid, Finally split up with Sid
He s up north for a nickles worth, For armed robbery
And I ll play you some pinball, No you ain t got a chance
Then go on over and, Ask her to dance
And hey barkeep whats keeping you, Keep pouring drinks
For all these palookas, Hey you know what I thinks
That we toast to the old days, And Di-Mag-gio too
An old Drysdales and Mantle, Whitey Ford and to you-oo-o
