Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
The 9th track off of the newest addition to The Gaslight Athem's back catalogue
'American Slang.' If you don't have this album I highly reccommend it. One of my
new all time faves!
Here goes...
Intro: G, E, G, E, C (the same as the verse)
Verse:
G
The cool is dead, baby go on to sleep
E
Rest your weary head and lover bury me
G
And in the morning we'll start over again
E C
That's how they do it up on the screen
G
So me and my baby we would dance all night
E
But I don't know the steps in my baby's time
G
To do it like they do it for the girls uptown
E C
I hear they light 'em up like the blues
Pre-Chorus:
E C
So I'm waiting, so I'm waiting
E C
And she's waiting, and she's waiting
D
For us to remember...
Chorus:
E C G D
Was I good to you, the wife of my youth
E C G D
Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do
E C G D
So I will wait on the edges in between
C D
These New York streets
G
Where you and I would meet
Post Chorus: G, E, G, E, C (the same as the verse)
Verse 2:
G
For 29 years we loved that line
E
And I would take it easy if I had your mind
G
But I'm a cannonball to a house on fire
E C
And you're slow like Motown Soul
G
So what now lover with your long black hair?
E
If I cut you open baby I can repair
G
And bandage your wounds with the salt on my tongue
E C
And I'm the only one 'round here
Pre-Chorus 2:
E C
So I'm waiting, so I'm waiting
E C
And she's waiting, and she's waiting
D
For us to recover...
Chorus 2:
E C G D
So was I good to you, the wife of my youth
E C G D
Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do
E C G D
So I will wait on the edges in between
C D
These New York streets
G
Where you and I would meet
Bridge:
E C G D
And only I can heal your wounds
E C G D
Only I can heal your wounds
E C
When you can't go on
G D
When you can't go on
E C
When you can't go on
D E
When you can't go on, anymore...
Muted Pre-Chorus:
E C G D
So was I good to you, the wife of my youth
E C
Not another soul could love you
G D
Like my...
Chorus 3:
E C G D
So was I good to you, the wife of my youth
E C G D
Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do
E C G D
So I will wait on the edges in between
C D
These New York streets
C D
On all these New York streets
G
Where you and I would meet
Hopefully everything is okay but as I worked this out by ear who knows?
Enjoy! :)
