Am (x02210@1) EmWell, (022000@1)I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go.

Am (x02210@1) EmWhen (022000@1)we float out into the ether, into the Everlasting Arms,
Am (x02210@1) Fmaj7I (1x3210@1)hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life.

Outro:
C (x32010@1)----
Seeing as almost all of Gaslight's songs from this album are in D tuning, I
was pretty sure I could make it work for this song too. I took a look at a
few live videos, and this is definitely what he's playing, especially in the
intro. Hope you all enjoy it!
