We Did It When We Were Young The Gaslight Anthem
This is the last song on Gaslight Anthem's Soon to be released "American Slang".
It's really simple, just palm mute these power chords throughout the song.
In the last chorus they start strumming openly.
Hope you enjoy, one of my favorites off the new album.
INTRO: Bm F# G D G D A
D[Bm]on't write me no mor[F#]e letters
M[G]y mailbox is full of[D] bombs
Between[G] you and the kooks[D] on my block[A]
I don'[Bm]t remember the good ti[F#]mes
I wasn't[G] there and you were k[D]ind
And my [G]wife has some d[D]ogs in our ya[A]rd
And I[G] cannot hold a ca[D]ndle for ev[A]ery prett[Bm]y girl
We were[G] strangers many hour[D]s
And I mi[A]ssed you for so long
When we were [Bm]lions, lovers in com[A]bat
Faded like your [G]name on those jeans that I [D-A-G]burned
But I am ol[D]der n[A]ow
And we did[Bm] it when we were y[G]oung
I am olde[D]r no[A]w
And we did[Bm] it when we were y[G]oung
*Repeat the exact pattern as the first half of the song*
There are no reasons to believe
I buried my faith in an unmarked plot
With your heart and your clothes
When I find that I don't feel you or recall
I'll put your bones out in the yard
Someone else to be called and called by
And I cannot hold a candle for every pretty girl
We were strangers many hours
And I missed you for so long
When we were lions, lovers in combat
Faded like your name on those jeans that I burned
But I am older now
And we did it when we were young
I am older now
And we did it when we were young
I am older now
And we did it when we were young
I am older now
*A note, they hold out the last line of the chorus by playing*
And we di[Bm]d it w[A]hen we were yo[D]ung
