Thanks to Thomas St?ckelberger whose original tab served as the basis for
this tab. I just put the chords I believe to be correct on his format. This 
sounds pretty perfect playing along with the song. Keep in mind that they 
are playing different chords, or at least with a capo on a different fret,
as they play with their guitars a full step down, so if you tuned down your 
guitar to play Gaslight Anthem, you would need to play this with the capo on
the 5th.
