Blue Dahlia The Gaslight Anthem
Blue Dahlia : By The Gaslight Anthem
Tuning: Half Step
Intro
[E--G#-A] [(B)]
Verse
[E]What a hot and sultry summer,
The steam just [C]slides up off them streets
You got to [G]stay inside and wait for the night,
And then [D]come on over and see me
There's a [E]poetry about these streets,
It just [C]slips from your skin and goes right underneath
And [G]mama always knew I'd meet a girl like you,
But [D]me, I never believed
Cuz I've been [E]so lonely I [D]can't imagine that kind of [C]sympathy [D](x2)
Chorus
Where'd you get them [E]scars?
How blue is your [C#]heart?
Is it [A]sad enough to break?
She said, "it's [E]sad enough to [B]break"
How long was your [E]life?
Was it co[C#]ld and strange like mine?
Are you [A]man enough to lay here?
She said, "I'm [E]man enough my [B]baby, come see about me"
E--G#-A X2 B (Palm mute)
Verse
I had a [E]dream about you once, and I could [C]barely see your form
And I [G]met you between the wax and the needle,
In the [D]words of my favorite song
Your [E]black hair was like a raven, with your[C] tan skin on the beach
Your [G]backdrop were the auroras and my [D]sidekick was all this grief
I've been [E]so low down, I'm [D]almost level with the [C]ground[D]
Chorus
Where'd you get them [E]scars?
How blue is your [C#]heart?
Is it [A]sad enough to break?
She said, "it's [E]sad enough to [B]break"
How long was your [E]life?
Was it c[C#]old and strange like mine?
Are you [A]man enough to lay here?
She said, "I'm [E]man enough my [B]baby, come see about me"
Bridge
E -- C# - B X2
Did they [E]take you to the carnival to get [C#]locked up on a [B]ride?
Me, [E]I got caught up with the fortuen tellers
And the [C#]ladies with the sleepy [B]eyes
It took [A]years my baby ju[B]st to come clean Every s[C#]treetlight a reminder[A]
And a[B]ll those apolo[C#]gies
And the [A]night was [B]lonely next to [C#]me
Even the [A]night was [B]lonely next to [E]me
Chorus
Where'd you get them [E]scars?
How blue is your [C#]heart?
Is it [A]sad enough to break?
She said, "it's [E]sad enough to [B]break"
How long was your [E]life?
Was it [C#]cold and strange like mine?
Are you [A]man enough to lay here?
She said, "I'm [E]man enough my [B]baby, come see about me"
Come see [E]about me, [C#] [A]
Come see about [E]me,
