----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blue Dahlia - The Gaslight Anthem - Handwritten Deluxe Version Full step down tuning (DGCFAd) with CAPO 1ST FRET Transcribed by Jack Cookson (Torn_Asunder) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Assuming that Brian plays this in full step down, this is how to play the basic chords of an amazing new Gaslight song!
