The Gaslight Anthem - Rollin' and Tumblin' - from the album Get Hurt
A note before I start the tab. Historically, The Gaslight Anthem have played in D standard.
The new album seems to be played in E standard. You can tell by the harmonics in the intro of this song.
I'll be transcribing the chords in standard.
The chords used in the intro and verses are Am, G, and F. C major is used in the bridges and verses, as
well as the outro.
Verse:
Am Gmaj Fmaj
I don't think I'm going out anymore
Am Gmaj Fmaj (G and F are struck in sync with the two syllables of comfort)
You better find some other body to com-fort
Am Gmaj Fmaj (same pattern applies throughout)
When I was tremblin', baby, you was a diamond
Am Gmaj Fmaj
But you ain't a diamond no more
Cmaj (C is hit at the same time you say "what")
So what you want to say is my head is a hurricane, well
Cmaj
l-l-let me sleep on that - uh huh, alright
Cmaj
You say I'm hopelessly devoted to misery, well
Cmaj
I don't want to be so devoted no more AWWWW YEAHHHH
(play the intro riff of Am, Gmaj, and Fmaj once before chorus)
Chorus:
Cmaj
And all of my friends wanna get into heaven
Gmaj
And all I keep thinking is "I wish you were here"
Am
I heard that they've been callin' me the great depression
Fmaj (in the first chorus you hit this once, don't strum it)
Rollin' and tumblin'....
The riff that's played while Brian sings "Breakin' my own heart again" in the first chorus is as follows:
e|-----------------------|
B|-----------------------|
G|-----------------------|
D|-----------------------|
A|----------3--5---3--0--|
E|--3---5----------------|
Then you jump back into the Am, Gmaj, Fmaj pattern for the verse again. Second verse/prechorus is played
exactly the same.
Second chorus is played just like the first chorus, except when you get to "Rollin' and tumblin" you
continue strumming Fmaj, then to Gmaj before you repeat the chorus.
After you repeat the chorus, the bridge comes in:
(continuing the G from the repeated chorus)
So should I take
Cmaj
Everything, all your temporary
Am
Medicines... Should I take your
Fmaj
Red, your blues, and your cocaine, should I take
Gmaj
Something to try on the weekend
(the chords repeat til the next part)
Cmaj
So cry me a river, and assure me
Fmaj
I'm crazy
Cmaj
While you question the answers
Gmaj
And then you lean on my best friends
(chords repeat for rest of outro)
Song ends on Am
