The '59 Sound Acoustic

Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound (Acoustic)
Album: The B Sides
Email: [email protected]

I know there are other tabs for this song on the site but they are different than the way this one is played.
So it took my a while but I finally figured out the chords and I'm positive they are correct.

This is the version of the song I am tabbing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vedyEffvzRA 

It's the one on The B Sides album

Tuning: Standard
Capo 2 Fret

Intro

C  F  Am  G  F 
(During half of the last G and F the 3rd fret on the e string is held)

       Am                              Em
Well I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go
   Am                                                  F (Barre)
I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow
           Am                               Em
And as we float out into the ether into the everlasting arms
          Am                                      F (Barre)
I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life

              Am               F              C           G
'Cause these chains I've been hearin' now for most of my life
          Am               F               C           G
And these chains I've been hearin' now for most of my life

        C
Did you hear the '59 sound 
                    F
Coming through on Grandmama's radio?
                  Am               G
Did you hear the rattlin' chains 
                       F
In the hospital walls?
                     C
Did you hear the old gospel choir 
                           F
When they came to carry you over?
                        Am          G
And did you hear your favorite song 
                F
One last time?

         Am                             Em
And I wonder, were you scared when the metal hit the glass?
            Am                                                     F (Barre)
But I was playing a show down the road when your spirit left your body
          Am                                             Em
And they told me when I was on the front lawn, and I'm sorry that I couldn't go
       Am                                                             F (Barre)
But I still know the song and the words and her name and every reason
       Am                  F           C        G
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
       Am                  F           C        G
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang

                  C

                       F
In the hospital walls?
                   C

                    F

                     Am          G

                F
One last time?

Well you ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
Am                F         C       G
Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
Am                F         C       G
Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
Am                    F     C   G
You ain't supposed to leave my life
