The Spirit of Jazz The Gaslight Anthem
Intro: A, D, A, F#m, D (x2)
The [A]cool is dead, baby go on and sleep
[D]Rest your weary head and lover, bury me
[A]And in the morning we'll start over again
That's [F#m]how they do it up on the s[D]creen
See,[A] me and my baby, we would dance all night
But [D]I don't know the steps in my baby's time
To d[A]o it like they do it for the girls uptown
I [F#m]heard they light them up like the [D]blues
So I'm [F#m]waiting (So I'm [D]waiting)
And she's [F#m]waiting (And she's [D]waiting)
For us to [E]remember
Was I [F#m]good to [D]you, the w[A]ife of my y[D]outh
Not a[F#m]nother soul could l[D]ove you
Like my r[A]otten bones [E]do
So I[F#m] will w[D]ait on the e[A]dges in be[E]tween
These [D]New York s[E]treets
Where you and I would m[A]eet
A, D, A, D, F#m
[A]For twenty nine years we loved that line
And [D]I would take it easy if I had your mind
But I[A]'m a cannonball to a house on fire
And y[F#m]ou're slow like Motown s[D]oul
So w[A]hat now lover with your long black hair
If [D]I cut you open, baby I can repair
And [A]bandage your wounds with the salt on my tongue
And [F#m]I'm the only one round [D]here
And I'm w[F#m]aiting (And I'm [D]waiting)
And she's w[F#m]aiting (And she's w[D]aiting)
For us to r[E]ecover
Was I [F#m]good to [D]you, the w[A]ife of my y[D]outh
Not a[F#m]nother soul could l[D]ove you
Like my r[A]otten bones [E]do
So I[F#m] will w[D]ait on the e[A]dges in be[E]tween
These [D]New York s[E]treets
Where you and I would m[A]eet
And only [F#m]I-I-[D]I can h[A]eal your w[E]ounds
Only [F#m]I-I-[D]I can h[A]eal your w[E]ounds
When you c[F#m]an't go o[D]n
When you c[A]an't go [E]on
When you c[F#m]an't go o[D]n
Any m[E]ore, hold o[F#m]n
Was I [F#m]good to y[D]ou, the w[A]ife of my y[E]outh
Not a[F#m]nother soul could l[D]ove you
Like my-[A] [E]
Was I g[F#m]ood to y[D]ou, the w[A]ife of my y[E]outh
Not a[F#m]nother soul could l[D]ove you
Like my r[A]otten bones [E]do
So [F#m]I will w[D]ait on the e[A]dges in bet[E]ween
And[F#m] I will [D]wait on the [A]edges in be[E]tween
And[F#m] I will [D]wait on the [A]edges in be[E]tween
These [D]New York st[E]reets
On all these N[F#m]ew York s[E]treets
Where you and I would m[A]eet
