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
G to C
if you like it? please rate it

A SIGHT FOR SORE EYES
CFC
A sight for sore eyes, It's a long time no see
CAmDmG
Workin' hard hardly workin', Hey man you know me
AmCFC
Water under the bridge, Did ya see my new car
CAmDmG
Well it's bought and it's paid for, Parked out-side of the bar
CFC
And hey barkeep whats keeping you, Keep pouring drinks
CAmDmG
For all these palookas, Hey you know what I thinks
AmCFC
That we toast to the old days, And Di-Mag-gio too
CAmDmGCG
An' old Drysdales and Mantle, Whitey Ford and to you
CFC
Oh you know the ol' gang ain't around, Everyone has left town
CAmDmG
'Cept for Thelma 'n' Giardina, Said they just might be down
AmCFC
Oh half drunk all the time, An' I'm all drunk the rest
CAmDmGCG
Monks still the champion, Oh but I am the best
CFC
And hey barkeep whats keeping you, Keep pouring drinks
CAmDmG
For all these palookas, Hey you know what I thinks
AmCFC
That we toast to the old days, And Di-Mag-gio too
CAmDmGCG
An' old Drysdales and Mantle, Whitey Ford and to you
CFC
Guess you heard about Nash, He was killed in a crash
CAmDmG
Oh that must have been two, Or three years ago now
AmCFC
Yeah, he spun out and he rolled, Hit a telephone pole
CAmDmG
And died with the radio on
CFC
Flo she's married with a kid, Finally split up with Sid
CAmDmG
He's up north for a nickles worth, For armed robbery
AmCFC
And I'll play you some pinball, No you ain't got a chance
CAmDmG
Then go on over and, Ask her to dance
CFC
And hey barkeep whats keeping you, Keep pouring drinks
CAmDmG
For all these palookas, Hey you know what I thinks
AmCFC
That we toast to the old days, And Di-Mag-gio too
CAmDmGCC
An' old Drysdales and Mantle, Whitey Ford and to you-oo-o
