----------------------------------------------------------------------------- American Slang (Acoustic) - The Gaslight Anthem - American Slang D Standard Tuning/Whole Step Down (DGCFAd) Ear Transcribed by Jack Cookson (Torn Asunder) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I ear transcribed this from Brian Fallon's performance of the song on Sirius XM Alt-Nation which can be found on YouTube by simply searching the song title. Some of the other interpretations on this website are a bit incorrect so I thought I'd have a go at it and see if it does justice. I hope it helps you guys out there wanting to learn this awesome song. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chords used (Named relative to standard tuning): D (xx0232) G (320033) A (x02220) Bm (x24432) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intro (Played in arpeggios): D x4 G x2 A x2 ^ Play this twice ^ Verse 1: Bm Look what you started G A I seem to be coming right out of my skin Bm So look what you've forgotten here G A These bandages just don't keep me in Pre Chorus: D G Baby when it was over D G Well I woke up alone D G And when it was over, yeah D G I woke up alone Chorus: Bm A G D Well they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive Bm A G D I got your name tattooed on inside of my arm Bm A G D And I called for my father but my father had died G While you told me fortunes A D In American slang [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/t/the-gaslight-anthem/231517.html ] Verse 2: Bm And looked at the damage G A When the fortunes came for the richer men Bm And we left with gallows G A Honey waiting for us liars baby, come down and hang Pre Chorus: D G Baby when it was over, yeah yeah D G Well I woke up alone D G And when it was over D G I woke up alone Chorus: Bm A G D Well they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive Bm A G D I got your name tattooed on inside of my arm Bm A G D And I called for my father but my father has died G And you told me fortunes A D In American slang Bridge: Bm A G And here's where we died that time last year D Bm And where the angels and devils meet A G And you can dance with the queen if you need D G A D And she will always keep your cards close to her heart G A D G A So close to her heart, before they tear you apart Outro: Bm A G D And they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive Bm A G D I got your name tattooed on inside of my arm Bm A G D And I called for my father but my father has died Bm A G D I called for my father but my father has died G And you told me fortunes D In American slang G And you told my fortunes A D In American slang  |
