The Gaslight Anthem Wherefore Art Thou, Elvis? Tabbed by: eup.jasari@gmail.com Tuning: 1 Step Down Chords: G#m : 466444 F# : 244322 or x4432x E : 022100 B : x24442 B/F# : 22444x B/G# : 42444x Intro: G#m F# E F# ------ Verse: ------
G#mI cut my teeth on the Bstone of a tF#eenage romanceG#m B F# G#mI was the salt of the earth, I wasB hard, and the F#last of the independG#ments. B F# E5And in the breath from myF#5 chest I was G#5blowing kerosene, E5My lips and fingertips were F#5stone, I wore my G#5heart on my jeans. E5I sang the blues like the F#5dogs left too lG#5ong in the street, E5I still sing the F#5blues with the G#5dogs.
EAnd I got half a mind to F#let it all bG#murn up in this fire, EI've had been burning through my F#veins since I G#mfirst learned to cry. EI'd watch this whole night come F#down and never mG#miss her again. EI never felt right and never fF#it in,
Walking in my own skin. ---------- Intro Riff ---------- Verse (played the same): Now I got scars like the number of stars, my head's full of vipers. I got the dust of the desert in my bones, coming through the amplifiers. Between the minor chord fall and the fourth and the fifth, It's a broken Hallelujah and a pain in my fist. I wash my hands like the man with the blood on his teeth, Over and over without relief. And I got nothing for you darling but a story to tell, About the rain on the pavement and the sound as it fell. I'd watch this whole night come down and never miss her again. I never felt right and never fit in. ------ Chorus ------ When Brian plays this part slowly, he uses the same chord shapes from the verse (B, F#, G#m), instead of just holding the B chord and changing the root note. Also, notice the "Say a Prayer for my soul, Senorita" is different on the last go round. B B/F# B/G# Walking in my old man shoes, with my scientist heart. B B/F# B/G# I got a fever and a beaker and a shot in the dark. B B/F# B/G# I need a Cadillac ride, I need a soft summer night,
ESay a prayer for my soulF# Se?orita. Because I've been G#mdying out F#here in the Ecold and the snow. I got a G#mpicture of you,F# Mama, to Eremind me of home. On the G#mhood of a F#Dodge on a ESaturday night, Say a Bprayer for my soul, F#Se?orita.
