 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.
