 This is my transcription of 'Blue Valentines' by Tom Waits, on
 the album 'Blue Valentine' ( actually one of the songs that hooked me
 to Tom Waits !).
 It is  note-for-note for the intro and the first verse ( first
 80 seconds of the song on the album). Then there are some slight
 variations I didn't want to tab.
 As the rhythm of this song is not very regular, I didn't try to
 match the words on the notes(I think it wouldn't make sense with
 such a song). Though, the first note of each 'measure' should be
 played together with the word that is just below it.
 
 The complete lyrics are included in the album so I didn't write them all.
