• Song:

    Casanova Baby

  • Artist:

    The Gaslight Anthem

So here's a acoustic version of The Gaslight Anthem's 'Casanova, Baby!'


Capo on 3rd fr.
The main chord pattern in this song is G Em7 D (without capo it is Bb Gm7 F, but I 
to play it with a capo because it is easier and sounds better)

I would recommend to play the chords like this:

G     (320033)
Em7   (022033)
Em    (022000)
Dsus4  (xx0233)
Cadd9 (032033)


However, you can also play the "standard chords" but I guess it sounds better with this 
have fun and enjoy. feel free to comment and/ or correct.

Intro:

G G Em7 Dsus4 (2x)


Verse:

G
Do you hear that whistle wail?
Em7                    Dsus4
Think the end is coming in?
G
But I'm a whole lot worse than well
Em7                            Dsus4
But I'm determined to slip this skin
G
And I know your dying for a good time
Em7      Dsus4   Cadd9
Dying to breath again
G             Dsus4
Oh my my, Virginia


Chorus:

(Dsus4)   G
We could run all night
    Em7            Dsus4
And dance upon the architecture
 G
Come and take my hand
     Em7                 Dsus4
I'll do the very best I can
         Em                Cadd9
Boy, I still wanna be your man
      G                  Dsus4               Em    Cadd9
I'm still these nervous feet and heart of stone
    G                    Dsus4                (G)
Forget this dead mans town, I'll take you home


G G Em7 Dsus4 (2x)

Cadd9 Cadd9 Em7  Dsus4 (G)

Verse:

G
Do you hear me late at night?
Em7                    Dsus4
Always picking at the pieces
          G
Sometimes nothing comes out right
    Em7              Dsus4
And nothing is relieving
      G
But every slow mans song
     Em7               Dsus4        Cadd9
Is a night I'd like to spend with you
     G                   Dsus4
Just twisting the night away

G
But it's past a quarter to three
         Em7                   Dsus4
And it's past the midnight hour
  G
Mustang Sally's left the building
      Em7                      Dsus4
And we're so much worse without her
     G
If I could put down this ol' hammer
 Em7          Dsus4      Cadd9
I'd take you somewhere new
 G            Dsus4
Oh my my, Virginia


Chorus:

(Dsus4)   G
We could run all night
    Em7            Dsus4
And dance upon the architecture
 G
Come and take my hand
     Em7                 Dsus4
I'll do the very best I can
         Em                Cadd9
Boy, I still wanna be your man
      G                  Dsus4               Em    Cadd9
I'm still these nervous feet and heart of stone
    G                    Dsus4                (G)
Forget this dead mans town, I'll take you home
