     MIb   SIb7/RE MIb    SIb7/RE
Will she remember  my old voice 
DOm     SIb       LAb
while I fight the tears
  MIb    DO7        FAm     SIb7
Hello, hello there, is this Martha, 
MIb     DO7     FAm   SIb7
this is old Tom Frost
    MIb  DO7     FAm  SIb7
And I am calling long distance, 
      DOm    SIb      LAb
don't worry about the cost
       MIb       DO7   FAm      SIb7
'Cause it's been forty years or more, 
    MIb    DO7      FAm   SIb7
now Martha please recall
MIb     DO7     FAm
Meet me out for coffee, 
SIb7        DOm   SIb     LAb
where we'll talk about it all

    MIb                    LAb
And those were the days of roses, 
   MIb        LAb
of poetry and prose
           DOm   SIb     LAb
And Martha all I had was you 
            FAm7 SIb7 MIb MIb4
and all you had  was  me
MIb            LAb
There was no tomorrows,

we packed away our sorrows
       DOm        SIb   FAm7 SIb7 MIb MIb4 MIb
And we saved them for a rainy   day

MIb SIb7/RE MIb SIb7/RE DOm SIb LAb

    MIb    SIb7/RE MIb   SIb7/RE
And I feel so much older now,

and you're much older too
MIb        SIb7/RE      MIb        SIb7/RE
How's your husband, and how's your kids, 
              DOm   SIb     LAb
you know that I got married too
MIb    DO7      FAm       SIb7
 Lucky that you found someone 
   MIb      DO7    FAm  SIb7
to make you feel secure
       MIb     DO7    FAm       SIb7
'Cause we were all so young and foolish, 
DOm    SIb   LAb
now we are mature

    MIb                    LAb
And those were the days of roses, 
   MIb        LAb
of poetry and prose
           DOm   SIb     LAb
And Martha all I had was you 
            FAm7 SIb7 MIb MIb4
and all you had  was  me

MIb SIb7/RE MIb SIb7/RE DOm SIb LAb

    MIb   SIb7/RE MIb  SIb7/RE
And I was always  so impulsive, 
  DOm        SIb     LAb
I guess that I still am
MIb           SIb//RE  MIb
 And all that really mattered 
   SIb7/RE DOm   SIb    LAb
then  was  that I was a man
  MIb        DO7 FAm     SIb7
I guess that our being together 
    MIb   DO7      FAm  SIb7
was never meant to be
    MIb   DO7  FAm     SIb7
And Martha,    Martha, 
  MIb       SIb       LAb
I love you, can't you see

    MIb                    LAb
And those were the days of roses, 
   MIb        LAb
of poetry and prose
           DOm   SIb     LAb
And Martha all I had was you 
            FAm7 SIb7 MIb MIb4
and all you had  was  me
MIb            LAb
There was no tomorrows,

    MIb SIb7/RE MIb    SIb7/RE
And I remember  quiet evenings, 
DOm       SIb      LAb
trembling close to you

Pianoforte

Martha è un brano scritto e interpretato da Tom Waits, contenuto nell'album Closing Time pubblicato nel 1973. Si tratta del primo lavoro in studio per il cantautore californiano, disco caratterizzato da un velo di malinconia e delicata tristezza... caratteristiche che diventeranno il suo marchio di fabbrica. La canzone, infatti, è dedicata ad un vecchio amore ormai passato; un'elegante e raffinata ballata cantautorale, dove il pianoforte dialoga con una sezione di archi. Bellissima!
