WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | The Gaslight Anthem - Orphans Ukulele | Ver. 1
Hi! This is my first tab, I hope I did it well and I'am Spanish too, so please forgive
my spelling mistakes.
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.

E5
Goodbye circus wheel
D5
May you rest along the sea
D5
I have given you the fire of my youth
D5
And the triumph o're my enemies
E5 D5
Goodbye fair weather home, and your faithless factories
D5
I have given you the blood and the truth
D5
E5 D5 D5
And whatever they left, well, I kept it for my own heart
Chorus:
D5
And the lonesome all understand
D5
With the choirs in my head
E5
And we were orphans before
D5
We were ever the sons of regret
My baby
D5
And on and on and on
D5
the alphabet boys carry on
E5
We were orphans before
D5 D5
We were ever the sons of these songs Hey!
Verse2:
E5
And now my lights, they never go down
D5
they waltz the moon and stars for me now
D5
So you can find some local libertine
D5
to take your daughters out on the town
E5
And I can feel it in my aging bones
D5
How the sound of the rain mixes up
D5 D5
into the fountains where I drank my hero's blood
E5
D5 D5
So I left you to find my 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 |
E5
No the clothes I wore
D5 D5
Just don't fit my soul anymore
Chorus
D5
When we were young
D5
We were diamond Sinatras
E5 D5
Like something I saw in a dream
D5
We kept our secrets in rooms
D5
locked up tight like a tomb
E5 D5 D5
Where the ballerinas lay
