Orphans - The Gaslight Anthem
Standard tuning (EADGBe)
Tabbed by Manuel Nauert
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is my first tab. It's not exactly how Brian Fallon plays it (e.g. he
tunes his guitar down two half steps), but it's the version I love to play on
my acoustic guitar and you can play it along with the CD.
Enjoy!

Intro: C, G6, Am, F, G6 (x2)
Verse 1:
AmGoodbye, circus wheel, may you Frest along the seas
I have Cgiven you the fire of my youth and the G6triumph of my enemies
And Amgoodbye, fair weather home and your Ffaithless factories
I have Cgiven you the blood and the truth
from the G6wounds that they laid on me
And Amwhatever they left, I G6kept it for my own Fheart G
Chorus:
And the Clonesome understand with the G6choirs in my head
We were Amorphans before we were ever the sons of Fregret, my G6baby
COn and on and on, how the G6alphabet boys carry on
And we were Amorphans before we were ever the sons in the Fsongs C C
Verse 2:
And now my Amlights, they never go down
they waltz the Fmoon and the stars for me now
So you can Cfind some local libertine to take your G6daughters out on the town
And I can Amfeel it in my aging bones, how the Fsound of the rain mixes up
Into the Cfountains where I drank my hero's G6blood
And so I Amleft you to find my G6very own hat full of Frain G
Chorus:
And the Clonesome understand with the G6choirs in my head
We were Amorphans before we were ever the sons of Fregret, my G6baby
COn and on and on, how the G6alphabet boys carry on
And we were Amorphans before we were ever the sons in the Fsongs G6
Bridge:
And now I'm Emtrying to keep it straight
learning all the Amstreets and the alleyways
And learning Fwhere they lead now that I'm Cleft alone here to G6drive
But it's so Emhard to stand on your own against Ammirrored glass hot and cold
But the Amclothes I wore just don't G6fit my soul anyFmore G6
No, the Amclothes I wore just don't G6fit my soul anyFmore G6
Chorus:
And the Clonesome understand with the G6choirs in my head
We were Amorphans before we were ever the sons of Fregret, my G6baby
COn and on and on, how the G6alphabet boys carry on
And we were Amorphans before we were ever the sons in the Fsongs, my G6baby
When we were Cyoung we were G6diamond Sinatras
Like Amsomething I saw in a Fdream
We kept our Csecrets and rules locked up G6tight like a tomb
Where the Amballerinas Flay G6 C
