WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | The Gaslight Anthem - The Spirit Of Jazz Ukulele | Ver. 1
The 9th track off of the newest addition to The Gaslight Athem's back catalogue
'American Slang.' If you don't have this album I highly reccommend it. One of my
new all time faves!
Here goes...
Intro: F, A, F, A, F (the same as the verse)
Verse:
F
The cool is dead, baby go on to sleep
A
Rest your weary head and lover bury me
F
And in the morning we'll start over again
A F
That's how they do it up on the screen
F
So me and my baby we would dance all night
A
But I don't know the steps in my baby's time
F
To do it like they do it for the girls uptown
A F
I hear they light 'em up like the blues
Pre-Chorus:
A F
So I'm waiting, so I'm waiting
A F
And she's waiting, and she's waiting
G
For us to remember...
Chorus:
A F F G
Was I good to you, the wife of my youth
A F F G
Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do
A F F G
So I will wait on the edges in between
F G
These New York streets
F
Where you and I would meet
Post Chorus: F, A, F, A, F (the same as the verse)
Verse 2:
F
For 29 years we loved that line
A
And I would take it easy if I had your mind
F
But I'm a cannonball to a house on fire
A F
And you're slow like Motown Soul
F
So what now lover with your long black hair?
A
If I cut you open baby I can repair
F
And bandage your wounds with the salt on my tongue
A F
And I'm the only one 'round here
Pre-Chorus 2:
A F
So I'm waiting, so I'm waiting
A F
And she's waiting, and she's waiting
G
For us to recover...
Chorus 2:
A F F G
So was I good to you, the wife of my youth
A F F G
Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do
A F F G
So I will wait on the edges in between
F G
These New York streets
F
Where you and I would meet
Bridge:
A F F G
And only I can heal your wounds
A F F G
Only I can heal your wounds
A F
When you can't go on
F G
When you can't go on
A F
When you can't go on
G A
When you can't go on, anymore...
Muted Pre-Chorus:

So was I good to you, the wife of my youth

Not another soul could love you

Like my...

These New York streets

On all these New York streets

Where you and I would meet
