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: F, A, F, A, F (the same as the verse)
Verse:
F The cool is dead, baby go on to sleep A Rest your weary head and lover bury me F And in the morning we'll start over again A F That's how they do it up on the screen F So me and my baby we would dance all night A But I don't know the steps in my baby's time F To do it like they do it for the girls uptown A F I hear they light 'em up like the blues
Pre-Chorus:
A F So I'm waiting, so I'm waiting A F And she's waiting, and she's waiting G For us to remember...
Chorus:
A F F G Was I good to you, the wife of my youth A F F G Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do A F F G So I will wait on the edges in between F G These New York streets F Where you and I would meet
Post Chorus: F, A, F, A, F (the same as the verse)
Verse 2:
F For 29 years we loved that line A And I would take it easy if I had your mind F But I'm a cannonball to a house on fire A F And you're slow like Motown Soul F So what now lover with your long black hair? A If I cut you open baby I can repair F And bandage your wounds with the salt on my tongue A F And I'm the only one 'round here
Pre-Chorus 2:
A F So I'm waiting, so I'm waiting A F And she's waiting, and she's waiting G For us to recover...
Chorus 2:
A F F G So was I good to you, the wife of my youth A F F G Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do A F F G So I will wait on the edges in between F G These New York streets F Where you and I would meet
Bridge:
A F F G And only I can heal your wounds A F F G Only I can heal your wounds A F When you can't go on F G When you can't go on A F When you can't go on G A When you can't go on, anymore...
Muted Pre-Chorus:
A F F G So was I good to you, the wife of my youth A F Not another soul could love you F G Like my...
Chorus 3:
A F F G So was I good to you, the wife of my youth A F F G Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do A F F G So I will wait on the edges in between F G These New York streets F G On all these New York streets F Where you and I would meet
Hopefully everything is okay but as I worked this out by ear who knows?
Enjoy! :)
