This is the last song on Gaslight Anthem's Soon to be released "American Slang". It's really simple, just palm mute these power chords throughout the song. In the last chorus they start strumming openly. Hope you enjoy, one of my favorites off the new album. INTRO: Bm F# G D G D A

D^Bmon't write me no mor^F#e letters M^Gy mailbox is full of^D bombs Between^G you and the kooks^D on my block^A I don'^Bmt remember the good ti^F#mes I wasn't^G there and you were k^Dind And my ^Gwife has some d^Dogs in our ya^Ard And I^G cannot hold a ca^Dndle for ev^Aery prett^Bmy girl We were^G strangers many hour^Ds And I mi^Assed you for so long When we were ^Bmlions, lovers in com^Abat G D-A-G Faded like your name on those jeans that I burned But I am ol^Dder n^Aow And we did^Bm it when we were y^Goung I am olde^Dr no^Aw And we did^Bm it when we were y^Goung

*Repeat the exact pattern as the first half of the song* There are no reasons to believe I buried my faith in an unmarked plot With your heart and your clothes When I find that I don't feel you or recall I'll put your bones out in the yard Someone else to be called and called by And I cannot hold a candle for every pretty girl We were strangers many hours And I missed you for so long When we were lions, lovers in combat Faded like your name on those jeans that I burned But I am older now And we did it when we were young I am older now And we did it when we were young I am older now And we did it when we were young I am older now *A note, they hold out the last line of the chorus by playing*

And we di^Bmd it w^Ahen we were yo^Dung
