High Lonesome The Gaslight Anthem
Tuning: Half-step Down!!
Intro:
| B | E | B | E | G#m | E | G#m | E F# |
Verse 1:
So the ambulan[G#m]ces came,
They took your [C#m]pulse and packed up your[F#] things.
And the papers [G#m]read,
Some boys f[B]orget what heartache [F#]brings.
And the pounding in the [G#m]streets
Was your [C#m]heart in four/four [F#]time.
And the taste of [G#m]defeat
Was [B]never too [F#]far from your [E]mind.[F#]
Chorus:
And Ma[G#m]ria came from [E]Nashville with a [B]suitcase in her [F#]hand,
I always [G#m]kinda sorta [E]wished I looked like [B]Elvis.[F#]
And in my [G#m]head there's all these [E]classic cars,
And [B]outlaw cowboy [F#]bands
I always [G#m]kinda sorta [E]wished I was someone [B]else.[F#]

Verse 2:
So gravity [G#m]came,
And stole the [C#m]temple that the school boys [F#]praised
G#m,
And the crowds shuffled in.
You're getting [B]drinks for the same boys who [F#]once bought you everythi[G#m]ng.
And the powder on the bar[C#m]
Was just this [F#]one time, the powder on the [G#m]bar
Was just this o[B]ne night, and [F#]only to get [E]by.[F#]
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
[G#m] There were southern a[E]ccents [F#]
On the [G#m]radio as I drove [E]home.[F#]
And at [G#m]night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
It's a [E]pretty good song, maybe [F#]you know the rest...[G#m]
Maybe you know the [E]rest.[F#]
Repeat Chorus
Outro:
When our [G#m]boots they hit the g[E]round, |
B F# |
