Blue Dahlia The Gaslight Anthem
Hey everyone. This is my first tab, and hopefully you like it.
It's relatively similar to the first version that was posted, I changed the Intro,
Chorus, Pre-Chorus, and Outro chords to essentially match the verses. If you're
like me, and have trouble singing in anything lower then Eb tuning then this version is for you.
I play with the Capo on the 1st or 3rd fret, but you can move that around wherever you want.
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
G (320033)
D (x00232)
A (x02200)
Cadd9 (x32033)
Em7 (022033)
Intro-
G, D, G, D, G, Cadd9 -x3-
G, D, G, D, G, Cadd9,
[D-]
Verse 1-
What a [Em7]hot and sultry summer,
The steam just [Cadd9]slides up off them streets
You [G]got to stay inside and wait for the night,
And then [D]come on over and see me
There's a [Em7]poetry about these streets,
It just s[Cadd9]lips from your skin and goes right underneath
And m[G]ama always knew I'd meet a girl like you,
But [D]me, I never believed
Pre-Chorus-
Cause' I've bee[Em7]n so lonely I[D] can't imagine that kind of[Cadd9] sympathy
Cause' I've bee[Em7]n so lonely I[D] can't imagine that kind of[Cadd9] sympathy
Chorus-
Where'd you get them [G]scars?
How blue is [Em7]your heart?
Is it [Cadd9]sad enough to break?
She said, "it's [G]sad enough to [D]break"
How long was your[G] life?
Was it co[Em7]ld and strange like mine?
Are you m[Cadd9]an enough to lay here?
She said, "I'm ma[G]n enough my b[D]aby, come see about [G]me"
Verse 2-
I had a d[Em7]ream about you once, and I could [Cadd9]barely see your form
And I m[G]et you between the wax and the needle,
In the w[D]ords of my favorite song
Your b[Em7]lack hair was like a raven with your [Cadd9]tan skin on the beach
Your b[G]ackdrop were the auroras and my si[D]dekick was all this grief
I've been[Em7] so low down, I'm alm[D]ost level with the gr[Cadd9]ound
Chorus-
Where'd you get them s[G]cars?
How blue is [Em7]your heart?
Is it [Cadd9]sad enough to break?
She said "it's s[G]ad enough to br[D]eak"
How long was your[G] life?
Was it c[Em7]old and strange like mine?
Are you m[Cadd9]an enough to lay here?
She said, "I'm m[G]an enough my [D]baby, come see about [G]me"
Bridge-
Did they [G]take you to the carnival to get l[Em7]ocked up on a [D]ride?
[G]Me, I got caught up with the fortuen tellers
And the la[Em7]dies with the sleepy [Cadd9]eyes
It took y[Cadd9]ears my baby ju[D]st to come clean,
Every st[Em7]reetlight a reminder[Cadd9]
And [D]all those ap[Em7]ologies
And the n[Cadd9]ight was l[D]onely next to[Em7] me
Even the [Cadd9]night was [D]lonely next to [G]me
Chorus-
Where'd you get them s[G]cars?
How blue is [Em7]your heart?
Is it [Cadd9]sad enough to break?
She said "it's s[G]ad enough to b[D]reak"
How long was your[G] life?
Was it c[Em7]old and strange like mine?
Are you m[Cadd9]an enough to lay here?
She said, "I'm m[G]an enough my b[D]aby, come see about [G]me"[Em7]
Outro-
Come see ab[Cadd9]out me, ah[G]-ah[D]
Come see [Em7]about me, [Cadd9]
Come see a[G]bout me,[D]
Come see a[Em7]bout me, ah-[Cadd9]ah
Come see ab[G]out me, ah-[D]ah
G\
Whenever you're lonely
