------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Great Expectations - The Gaslight Anthem ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Sean Hummer Email: allstar21369@hotmail.com These are the chords as I hear them (and nothing else seems to work). I included the lead I could make out but I think overall it's pretty accurate. Great novel, great movie, great song, great band. *I'll update the Chorus lead when I get a chance. E-mail or message me any suggestions or corrections and let me know what you think!* Tuning: Capo on 1st Fret Chords: A - x02220 F# - 244222 D5 - xx023x (254232 Sounds better but it's more difficult to play) E - 022100 Intro/Verse Lead- e|---2------5-4---|---2------5-4---| B|------2-------5-|------2-------5-| G|-2-----2--------|-2-----2--------| D|----------------|----------------| A|----------------|----------------| E|----------------|----------------| AMary, (x02220@1)this station is playing every sad song F#I (244322@1)remember like we were alive AI (x02220@1)heard and sung them all from inside of these walls F#In (244322@1)a prison cell, where we spent those nights AAnd (x02220@1)they burnt up the diner where I always used to find her F#Licking (244322@1)young boys blood from her claws AAnd (x02220@1)I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew F#Her (244322@1)hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb Prechorus- Guitar 1 e|2~----------------0~---| B|0~---0--0--0--0---0~---| G|4~---4--6--7--6---1~---| D|x----x--x--x--x---2~---| A|2~---2--4--5--4---2~---| E|------------------0~---| My heart's like a wound Guitar 2 e|-----------------------| B|-----------------------| G|4~---4-4-4/6-7-6-4-----| D|-----------------------| A|-----------------------| E|-----------------------| Chorus- F# (244322@1) D5 (xx023x@1) A (x02220@1) EI (022100@1)saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife F# (244322@1) D5 (xx023x@1) A (x02220@1) EEverybody (022100@1)leaves and I'd expect as much from you F# (244322@1) D5 (xx023x@1) A (x02220@1) EI (022100@1)saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old (or whole) life F# (244322@1) D5 (xx023x@1) A (x02220@1) E (022100@1) AEverybody (x02220@1)leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
