• Song:

    Tin Pan Alley

  • Artist:

    The Gaslight Anthem

Brian Fallon's solo version of 'Tin Pan Alley' a song he did with Chuck Ragan from 
his 'Revival' tour. 
                                 Capo: 5
                              Tuning: EADGBe

Beautiful song, let's dive right in ;)

The only detail you need to be aware of in terms of major chord differences (No 
pun intended) is that when the C is played he adds the third on the high E 
string... Or in Layman's terms he plays the third fret on the high string. 
Otherwise good old fashioned Fallon chords ;D
