• Song:

    Gasoline

  • Artist:

    Shovels And Rope

The other Gasoline tab is spot on with the chords, but I wanted to throw this one up with the tabs for the
second guitar. This track is from the deluxe release of O' Be Joyful (original version on Shovels and Rope).
A lot of the second guitar part is just about feeling it. Don't be scared to make it your own, you can't go
wrong. It's ShoRo!

Guitar 1:

Intro: G

G                        C          G
Pack em up Charlie gonna leave this place
                         D     G
Turn our shoulders to an empty space
                          C      G
It don't matter if you're gone today
                  D     G
Long as everybody stay away

                 C       G
Rich is rich and poor is poor
                            D       G
And the money you had ain't good no more
                C         G
Wait in a line, wait in a line
                       D      G
Hey mister can I buy a little time

D                          Am      C
Everything you planted has gone to rot
    G
And no one around to buy the little you got
D               Am       C
Four big wheels American steel
G
Pouring gasoline on the killing field

G C G D G x2

                    C         G
March them soldiers down that line
                   D        G
March them boys in straight time
                        C           G
Them poor boys are like fuel on the fire
                         D  G
Bad news comin' down the AP Wire

                  C       G
Taciturn, do your fingers burn
                 D       G
What if anything did you earn
                       C    G
Ain't a taste that can satisfy
                      D          G
The blood lust of the youth gone wild

D                          Am      C
Everything you planted has gone to rot
    G
And no one around to buy the little you got
D               Am       C
Four big wheels American steel
G
Pouring gasoline on the killing field

G C G D G x2
G C G


Everybody's sick there's a fever goin' around

Set it on fire and burn the whole thing down
G               C           G
Go somewhere to start a new town
                              D        G
Where no one has to hear that terrible sound

D                          Am      C
Everything you planted has gone to rot
    G
And no one around to buy the little you got
D               Am       C
Four big wheels American steel
G
Pouring gasoline on the killing field
G
Pouring gasoline on the killing field
G
Pouring gasoline on
