I know Gaslight tends to play in Eb tuning, but I do love the fresh sound of standard tuning...
so I hope you can enjoy this as much as I do! :) More Gaslight tabs coming, give me a
if you want to!

B-|-13b-----13------------|---------------------|
B-|-13b-----13------------|------------------------|
It took so long to get me back on my feet
It takes so long to find the words and the beat
And Charlie's waiting on the end of the phone
To hear you call on him to try to recapture
B-|----------13b-----13------------|------------------------|
But them old records won't be saving your soul
And them feelings got the reasons you know
That you've forgotten somewhere
Riding a train to place
B-|----------13b-----13-------|
You are out in the cold cold
And it feels like all you'd have to do is step outside
Stop pacing around and waiting for some moment that might never arrive
But you'll never
B-|--------6-8-6h8p6----6---------------|
Gonna find it
B-|--------6-8-6h8p6----6---------------|
Like when you were young
B-|--------6-8-6h8p6----6---------------|
And everybody used to call you lucky
B-|--------6-8-6h8p6----6---------------|
PRE-VERSE
Nothing feels right in the wintery cold
Steam, heat, clang, and the dark at your door
All the other rooms are a party tonight
And you never got an invitation
B-|-------------13b-----13------------|------------------------|
And you feel in your bones, steady aching some more
Twenty five years gone just an hour ago
Momma never told me there'd be days like these
Until it was much too late to recover
B-|----------13b-----13-------|
And it feels like all you'd have to do is step outside
Stop pacing around and waiting for some moment that might never arrive
But you'll never
B-|--------6-8-6h8p6----6---------------|
Gonna find it
B-|--------6-8-6h8p6----6---------------|
When your knees
B-|--------6-8-6h8p6----6---------------|
Got so weak
B-|--------6-8-6h8p6----6---------------|
But it's right here
B-|--------6-8-6h8p6----6---------------|
In case you need it
B-|--------6-8-6h8p6----6---------------|
Like when you were young
B-|--------6-8-6h8p6----6---------------|
And everybody used to call you lucky
B-|--------6-8-6h8p6----6---------------|
Like when you were young
And everybody used to call you lucky
And it feels like all you'd have to do is step outside
Stop pacing around and waiting for some moment that might never arrive
What you don't have, you don't need it anymore
What you don't have, you don't need it anymore
But you'll never
B-|--------6-8-6h8p6----6---------------|
Gonna find it
B-|--------6-8-6h8p6----6---------------|
When your knees
B-|--------6-8-6h8p6----6---------------|
Got so weak
B-|--------6-8-6h8p6----6---------------|
But it's right here
B-|--------6-8-6h8p6----6---------------|
In case you need it
B-|--------6-8-6h8p6----6---------------|
Like when you were young
B-|--------6-8-6h8p6----6---------------|
And everybody used to call you lucky
B-|--------6-8-6h8p6----6---------------|
Like when you were young
And everybody used to call you lucky
Play the ending with
Bb and F switching back and forth, and end in Bb :)
If you're anywhere in Manhattan
In the next eight days or so
Let me know
Speak to stay lucky
