I was sick of all the tabs that have their songs tuned down a full step, so I decided to
those standard tuning. This sounds fine with open or barr chords, but I prefer playing
barr chords.
bm F#
Well, I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go
bm G
I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow
bm F#
when we float out into the ether, into the Everlasting Arms,
bm G
I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life
bm G D A
'cause the chains I been hearing now for most of my life
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_gaslight_anthem/59_sound_crd_ver_2.html ]
A G
Did you hear the '59 Sound coming through on Grandmama's radio?
bm A G
Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls?
D G
Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over?
bm A G
Did you hear your favorite song one last time?
bm F#
And I wonder were you scared when the metal hit the glass?
bm
See, I was playing a show down the road
G
when your spirit left your body
bm
And they told me on the front lawn
F#
I'm sorry I couldn't go,
bm F
but I still know the song and the words and her name and the reasons
bm G D A
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
bm G D A
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
bm G D A
Young boys
bm G D A
Young girls
bm G D A
Young boys
bm G D A D
Young girls
