Tom Waits: I wish I was in New Orleans
Words and Music: Tom Waits
Album: A Japanese import - (Sorry, I can't read Katakana,
but it probably says Tom-u Waits-u)

I included a line for the beat, which in most places
is obvious, but there is one measure that has two beats
and that threw me when I went to write it down.

Figuring out the words for this one is as challenging as
the music. I left "----" in a few spots. Anyone speak Waits?

There is one chord whose correct name somewhat eludes me.
After checking with Paul Zimmerman's chord theory page on
Olga, I think it is Ebdim7, which would be Eb Gb Bbb Dbb
or Eb Gb A C.
