The Gaslight Anthem Wherefore Art Thou, Elvis? Tabbed by: eup.jasari@gmail.com Tuning: 1 Step Down Chords: G#m : 466444 F# : 244322 or x4432x E : 022100 B : x24442 B/F# : 22444x B/G# : 42444x Intro: G#m F# E F# ------ Verse: ------ G#m B F# G#m B F# I cut my teeth on the stone of a teenage romance G#m B F# G#m B F# I was the salt of the earth, I was hard, and the last of the independents. E5 F#5 G#5 And in the breath from my chest I was blowing kerosene, E5 F#5 G#5 My lips and fingertips were stone, I wore my heart on my jeans. E5 F#5 G#5 I sang the blues like the dogs left too long in the street, E5 F#5 G#5 I still sing the blues with the dogs. E F# G#m And I got half a mind to let it all burn up in this fire, E F# G#m I've had been burning through my veins since I first learned to cry. E F# G#m I'd watch this whole night come down and never miss her again. E F# I never felt right and never fit in, Walking in my own skin. ---------- Intro Riff ---------- [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/t/the-gaslight-anthem/176571.html ] Verse (played the same): Now I got scars like the number of stars, my head's full of vipers. I got the dust of the desert in my bones, coming through the amplifiers. Between the minor chord fall and the fourth and the fifth, It's a broken Hallelujah and a pain in my fist. I wash my hands like the man with the blood on his teeth, Over and over without relief. And I got nothing for you darling but a story to tell, About the rain on the pavement and the sound as it fell. I'd watch this whole night come down and never miss her again. I never felt right and never fit in. ------ Chorus ------ When Brian plays this part slowly, he uses the same chord shapes from the verse (B, F#, G#m), instead of just holding the B chord and changing the root note. Also, notice the "Say a Prayer for my soul, Senorita" is different on the last go round. B B/F# B/G# Walking in my old man shoes, with my scientist heart. B B/F# B/G# I got a fever and a beaker and a shot in the dark. B B/F# B/G# I need a Cadillac ride, I need a soft summer night, E F# Say a prayer for my soul Se?orita. G#m F# E Because I've been dying out here in the cold and the snow. G#m F# E I got a picture of you, Mama, to remind me of home. G#m F# E On the hood of a Dodge on a Saturday night, B F# Say a prayer for my soul, Se?orita. ----- outro ----- Intro chords X3 followed by B F# G#m(slowly)  |
