American Slang The Gaslight Anthem
American Slang(acoustic) by The Gaslight Anthem
I tabbed this from the Sirius radio version on youtube
so watching that might help, it's a bit different from the original
tuned a full step down in true brian fallon fashion
D,G,A
Look what you [Bm]started,
I seem to be [G]coming out of my [A]skin
Look what you?ve for[Bm]gotten here
The bandages [G]just don?t keep me [A]in
And when it was [Bm]over
I woke up a[G]lone [A]
And when it was [Bm]over
I woke up a[G]lone [A]
And they c[Bm]ut me to ribb[A]ons and taugh[G]t me to dri[D]ve
I got your n[Bm]ame tatt[A]ooed ins[G]ide of m[D]y arm
I c[Bm]alled for my f[A]ather but my f[G]ather had d[D]ied
While [G]you told me fortunes, in A[A]merican Sl[D]ang
Look at the [Bm]damage,
the fortunes [G]came for the richer [A]men.
while we?re left with [Bm]gallows,
waiting for us [G]liars to come down and [A]hang.
And when it was [Bm]over
I woke up a[G]lone [A]
And when it was [Bm]over
I woke up a[G]lone [A]
An[Bm]d they cut me[A] to ribbons a[G]nd taught m[D]e to drive
I got your n[Bm]ame tatt[A]ooed ins[G]ide of m[D]y arm
I c[Bm]alled for my f[A]ather but my f[G]ather had d[D]ied
While [G]you told me fortunes, in A[A]merican Sl[D]ang
And here?s where we [Bm]died that t[A]ime last ye[G]ar,
And here?s where the an[Bm]gels and de[A]vils mee[G]t.
And you can [Bm]dance with the qu[A]een if you ne[G]ed,
And she will al[D]ways keep your ca[G]rds
Clo[A]se to her hea[D]rt oooh
So close to [G]her hear[A]t
before they tear you a[D]part
D,G,A
(He sings this differently, but the chords are the same)
An[Bm]d they cut me[A] to ribbons a[G]nd taught m[D]e to drive
I got your n[Bm]ame tatt[A]ooed ins[G]ide of m[D]y arm
I c[Bm]alled for my f[A]ather but my f[G]ather had d[D]ied
While [G]you told me fortunes, in A[A]merican Sl[D]ang
You told me for[G]tunes, in Ame[A]rican Sl[D]a
