American Slang(acoustic) by The Gaslight Anthem
I tabbed this from the Sirius radio version on youtube
so watching that might help, it's a bit different from the original
tuned a full step down in true brian fallon fashion
D,G,A
Bm
Look what you started,
G A
I seem to be coming out of my skin
Bm
Look what you’ve forgotten here
G A
The bandages just don’t keep me in
Bm
And when it was over
G A
I woke up alone
Bm
And when it was over
G A
I woke up alone
Bm A G D
And they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive
Bm A G D
I got your name tattooed inside of my arm
Bm A G D
I called for my father but my father had died
G A D
While you told me fortunes, in American Slang
Bm
Look at the damage,
G A
the fortunes came for the richer men.
Bm
while we’re left with gallows,
G A
waiting for us liars to come down and hang.
Bm
And when it was over
G A
I woke up alone
Bm
And when it was over
G A
I woke up alone
Bm A G D
And they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive
Bm A G D
I got your name tattooed inside of my arm
Bm A G D
I called for my father but my father had died
G A D
While you told me fortunes, in American Slang
Bm A G
And here’s where we died that time last year,
Bm A G
And here’s where the angels and devils meet.
Bm A G
And you can dance with the queen if you need,
D G
And she will always keep your cards
A D
Close to her heart oooh
G A
So close to her heart
D
before they tear you apart
D,G,A
(He sings this differently, but the chords are the same)
Bm A G D
And they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive
Bm A G D
I got your name tattooed inside of my arm
Bm A G D
I called for my father but my father had died
G A D
While you told me fortunes, in American Slang
G A D
You told me fortunes, in American Sla
