The Spirit Of Jazz
Tono: Original
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: G, E, G, E, C (the same as the verse)
Verse:
G
The cool is dead, baby go on to sleep
E
Rest your weary head and lover bury me
G
And in the morning we'll start over again
E C
That's how they do it up on the screen
G
So me and my baby we would dance all night
E
But I don't know the steps in my baby's time
G
To do it like they do it for the girls uptown
E C
I hear they light 'em up like the blues
Pre-Chorus:
E C
So I'm waiting, so I'm waiting
E C
And she's waiting, and she's waiting
D
For us to remember...
Chorus:
E C G D
Was I good to you, the wife of my youth
E C G D
Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do
E C G D
So I will wait on the edges in between
C D
These New York streets
G
Where you and I would meet
Post Chorus: G, E, G, E, C (the same as the verse)
Verse 2:
G
For 29 years we loved that line
E
And I would take it easy if I had your mind
G
But I'm a cannonball to a house on fire
E C
And you're slow like Motown Soul
G
So what now lover with your long black hair?
E
If I cut you open baby I can repair
G
And bandage your wounds with the salt on my tongue
E C
And I'm the only one 'round here
Pre-Chorus 2:
E C
So I'm waiting, so I'm waiting
E C
And she's waiting, and she's waiting
D
For us to recover...
Chorus 2:
E C G D
So was I good to you, the wife of my youth
E C G D
Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do
E C G D
So I will wait on the edges in between
C D
These New York streets
G
Where you and I would meet
Bridge:
E C G D
And only I can heal your wounds
E C G D
Only I can heal your wounds
E C
When you can't go on
G D
When you can't go on
E C
When you can't go on
D E
When you can't go on, anymore...
Muted Pre-Chorus:
E C G D
So was I good to you, the wife of my youth
E C
Not another soul could love you
G D
Like my...
Chorus 3:
E C G D
So was I good to you, the wife of my youth
E C G D
Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do
E C G D
So I will wait on the edges in between
C D
These New York streets
C D
On all these New York streets
G
Where you and I would meet
Hopefully everything is okay but as I worked this out by ear who knows?
Enjoy! :)
