I know Gaslight tends to play in Eb tuning, but I do love the fresh sound of standard tuning...
so I hope you can enjoy this as much as I do! :) More Gaslight tabs coming, give me a
if you want to!

VERSE
Bb
It took so long to get me back on my feet
Bb
It takes so long to find the words and the beat
And Charlie's waiting on the end of the phone
Gm F
To hear you call on him to try to recapture

A-|--------------------------------|------------------------|
E-|--------------------------------|------------------------|
Bb
But them old records won't be saving your soul
Bb
And them feelings got the reasons you know
That you've forgotten somewhere
Gm
Riding a train to place

VERSE
Bb
Nothing feels right in the wintery cold
Bb
Steam, heat, clang, and the dark at your door
All the other rooms are a party tonight
Gm F
And you never got an invitation

Bb
And you feel in your bones, steady aching some more
Bb
Twenty five years gone just an hour ago
Momma never told me there'd be days like these
Gm F
Until it was much too late to recover

In the next eight days or so
Let me know
Speak to stay lucky
