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!
Thanks to Thomas Stückelberger whose original tab served as the basis for
this tab. I just put the chords I believe to be correct on his format. This
sounds pretty perfect playing along with the song. Keep in mind that they
are playing different chords, or at least with a capo on a different fret,
as they play with their guitars a full step down, so if you tuned down your
guitar to play Gaslight Anthem, you would need to play this with the capo on
the 5th.
