    The Gaslight Anthem

Hi! This is my first tab, I hope I did it well and I'am Spanish too, so please forgive
my spelling mistakes.
 I saw a video on youtube of a concert os this song and I think the cords are wright, I
had a doubt with the tune, I think they are one tone down (2 half step down or whatever)
but I did it with the normal tone EADGBE. And also say that I didn't know how to explain 
the bridge, It's kind of mutting? (I'm sure it is not the word but probably you
understood me If you know the song)
Here it goes. This group is reeaally good.
Althought the chords are fifths, Brian, as I could see in the video play it like a
normal chord, I mean, Down Up Down ... strokes.

Chorus

Now I'm trying to keep it straight               |  BRIDGE
Learning all the streets and the alleyways       |I dont know how to explain
And learning where they lead                     |In the video you can see it
Now that I'm left alone here to drive            |well
But it's so hard to stand on your own            |Mute your strings
Against mirror of glass, hard and cold           |
But the clothes I wore                           |
Just don't fit my soul anymore                   |
         A5No (x022xx@1)the clothes I wore
       G5 (355xxx@1)               F5Just (133xxx@1)don't fit my soul anymore

Chorus

C5When (x355xx@1)we were young
                 G5We (355xxx@1)were diamond Sinatras
        A5 (x022xx@1)               F5Like (133xxx@1)something I saw in a dream
       C5We (x355xx@1)kept our secrets in rooms
          G5locked (355xxx@1)up tight like a tomb
    A5 (x022xx@1)              F5 (133xxx@1)            C5Where (x355xx@1)the ballerinas lay
