Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Congrats to Johnny Gallagher on this amazing song and debut record - these chords should be almost identical
to how he plays this song live, hope they are helpful
G: 320033
Cadd9: X32033
Em7: 022030
Also sometimes he substitutes Dsus4 for D during the verses but I think it's fine without.
[Intro]
G D Cadd9 D Cadd9 G
[Verse 1]
G D Cadd9 G
Well the fire took the castle Dracula back in '02
G D Cadd9 G
And the Shore Plaza Motel ended up in flames too
G D Cadd9 G
I lost my teddy bear there when I was just a little boy
G D Cadd9 G
But for a couple of bucks and a little bit of luck, step right up and win a brand new toy
[Verse 2]
G D Cadd9 G
It's funny when there's insurance money, somebody's trying to turn
G D Cadd9 G
Things around this boardwalk town have a way of just starting to burn
G D Cadd9 G
The fire'll die and you'll leave with your life, thank god nobody got hurt
G D Cadd9 G
Give it a month and they'll put something up on top of the ash and the earth
[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
My feet in the sand, like the bible land
Em7 D D7 (C7 shape up on 3rd fret)
With you, I just might live if I could
[Chorus]
C G
You can stab me in the back
Am Em7
I will always come back
Am C G
Running wild, through those wild, wild woods
[Verse 3]
G D Cadd9 G
The accent on the frog-bog barker sounds like Dublin to me
G D Cadd9 G
And the man at the top of the Ferris Wheel says "son, that's something that you never used to see"
G D Cadd9 G
Immigrants tearing your ticket to get on the merry-go-round
G D Cadd9 G
I said "that term describes you, buddy, me too, you best go on and get used to it now"
[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
My feet in the sand, like the bible land
Em7 D D7 (C7 shape up on 3rd fret)
With you, I just might live if I could
[Chorus]
C G
You can stab me in the back
Am Em7
I will always come back
Am C G
Running wild, through those wild, wild woods
[Verse 4]
G D Cadd9 G
There's a fight breaking out in front of the gift shop as the morning meets the night
G D Cadd9 G
There's cops all around but when the deal goes down, there doesn't seem to be a single one in sight
G D Cadd9 G
There's a window of candles in the boardwalk chapel that's slowly starting to fade
G D Cadd9 G
As a whole congregation in a holy celebration sings "everybody, everybody's gonna be saved"
Cadd9
Everybody, everybody's gonna be saved
G
Everybody, everybody's gonna be saved
Em Dsus4 D7
Everybody, everybody's gonna be saved
[Chorus 2]
C G Am Em7
And we'll watch that tram car carry us home on the crest of that rideway
Am C G
Waving goodbye to those wild, wild woods
