Orphans The Gaslight Anthem
Hi! This is my first tab, I hope I did it well and I'am Spanish too, so please forgive
my spelling mistakes.
I saw a video on youtube of a concert os this song and I think the cords are wright, I
had a doubt with the tune, I think they are one tone down (2 half step down or whatever)
but I did it with the normal tone EADGBE. And also say that I didn't know how to explain
the bridge, It's kind of mutting? (I'm sure it is not the word but probably you
understood me If you know the song)
Here it goes. This group is reeaally good.
Althought the chords are fifths, Brian, as I could see in the video play it like a
normal chord, I mean, Down Up Down ... strokes.
Intro:
---------------------------------------| --------5---5h8-----5---5-8-8br5-------| ----5h7---7-----5h7---7----------------| (x8) ---------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------|
Go[A5]odbye circus wheel
May you [F5]rest along the sea
I have[C5] given you the fire of my youth
And the [G5]triumph o're my enemies
Go[A5]odbye fair weather home, and your fait[F5]hless factories
I have give[C5]n you the blood and the truth
from the wo[G5]unds they laid onto me
And wh[A5]atever they left, [G5]well, I kept it for my[F5] own heart
Chorus:
And [C5]the lonesome all understand
With the ch[G5]oirs in my head
And we were orp[A5]hans before
We were ever the sons of reg[F5]ret
My baby
And [C5]on and on and on
the a[G5]lphabet boys carry on
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_gaslight_anthem/orphans_crd.html )
We wer[A5]e orphans before
We were ever the son[F5]s of these songs [C5] Hey!
Verse2:
And now my li[A5]ghts, they never go down
they waltz the m[F5]oon and stars for me now
So you can f[C5]ind some local libertine
to take your daug[G5]hters out on the town
And I can fe[A5]el it in my aging bones
How the sound [F5]of the rain mixes up
into the foun[C5]tains where I drank my hero's[G5] blood
[A5]
So I left[G5] you to find m[F5]y very own hat full of rain
Chorus
Now I'm trying to keep it straight | BRIDGE
Learning all the streets and the alleyways |I dont know how to explain
And learning where they lead |In the video you can see it
Now that I'm left alone here to drive |well
But it's so hard to stand on your own |Mute your strings
Against mirror of glass, hard and cold |
But the clothes I wore |
Just don't fit my soul anymore |
No the cl[A5]othes I wore
Just do[G5]n't fit my soul any[F5]more
Chorus
When we w[C5]ere young
We were diamond S[G5]inatras
Like som[A5]ething I saw in a d[F5]ream
We kept[C5] our secrets in rooms
locked up [G5]tight like a tomb
Wher[A5]e the ballerinas l[F5]ay[C5]
