American Slang(acoustic) by The Gaslight Anthem I tabbed this from the Sirius radio version on youtube so watching that might help, it's a bit different from the original tuned a full step down in true brian fallon fashion D,G,A Bm Look what you started, G A I seem to be coming out of my skin Bm Look what you?ve forgotten here G A The bandages just don?t keep me in Bm And when it was over G A I woke up alone Bm And when it was over G A I woke up alone Bm A G D And they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive Bm A G D I got your name tattooed inside of my arm Bm A G D I called for my father but my father had died G A D While you told me fortunes, in American Slang Bm Look at the damage, G A the fortunes came for the richer men. Bm while we?re left with gallows, G A waiting for us liars to come down and hang. Bm And when it was over G A I woke up alone Bm And when it was over G A I woke up alone Bm A G D And they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive Bm A G D I got your name tattooed inside of my arm Bm A G D I called for my father but my father had died G A D While you told me fortunes, in American Slang Bm A G And here?s where we died that time last year, Bm A G And here?s where the angels and devils meet. Bm A G And you can dance with the queen if you need, D G And she will always keep your cards A D Close to her heart oooh G A So close to her heart D before they tear you apart D,G,A (He sings this differently, but the chords are the same) Bm A G D And they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive Bm A G D I got your name tattooed inside of my arm Bm A G D I called for my father but my father had died G A D While you told me fortunes, in American Slang G A D You told me fortunes, in American Sla Hope yall enjoy it, let me know if you find anything wrong, it'll be much appreciated.
