High Lonesome Tab

by Gaslight Anthem


these are the chords in standard tuning. great song.

                  
So the ambulances came
                                         
They took your pulse and packed up your things
                
And the papers read
                                    
Some boys forget what the heart it brings
                          
And the pounding in the street
                           
Was your heart in four four time
                   
And the taste of defeat
                                       
Was was never too far from your mind
                                                  
And Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
                                                
I always kinda sorta wished I looked like Elvis
                                 
And in my head there's all these classic cars
                   
And outlaw cowboy bands
                                        
I always kinda sorta wish I'm someone else
            
So gravity came
                                         
And stole the temple that the schoolboys praised
                      
And the crowd shuffled in
                 
You're getting drinks for the same boys
                          
Who once bought you everything

And the patter on the bar
              
Was just this one time
                   
The patter on the bar
               
Was just this one night
                 
Only to get by

                                              
And Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
                                                
I always kinda sorta wished I looked like Elvis
                                 
And in my head there's all these classic cars
                   
And outlaw cowboy bands
                                        
I always kinda sorta wish I'm someone else

cheers
