Great Song from Blue Valentines, with an excellent walking feel to the bass.
I hope this is right, if not any corrections will be welcome.

Well, I come in on a night train
with an arm full of box cars etc...

Before it goes into the chorus it walks up like this:

I found another version of the bass tab on a different site, But I couldn't get it to

Thomas Alan "Tom" Waits (born December 7, 1949) is an American singer-songwriter, composer and actor. Waits has a distinctive voice, described by critic Daniel Durchholz as sounding "like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months, and then taken outside and run over with a car." With this trademark growl, his incorporation of pre-rock music styles such as blues, jazz, and vaudeville, and experimental tendencies verging on industrial music, Waits has built up a distinctive musical persona. He has worked as a composer for movies and musical plays and as a supporting actor in films, including Down By Law and Bram Stoker's Dracula. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his soundtrack work on One from the Heart.
