The Spirit of Jazz.

The 9th track off of the newest addition to The Gaslight Athem's back catalogue 'American Slang.' If you don't have this album I highly reccommend it. One of my new all time faves! Here goes... Intro: G, E, G, E, C (the same as the verse) Verse: The cool is dead, baby go on to sleep Rest your weary head and lover bury me And in the morning we'll start over again That's how they do it up on the screen So me and my baby we would dance all night But I don't know the steps in my baby's time To do it like they do it for the girls uptown I hear they light 'em up like the blues Pre-Chorus: So I'm waiting, so I'm waiting And she's waiting, and she's waiting For us to remember... Chorus: Was I good to you, the wife of my youth Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do So I will wait on the edges in between These New York streets Where you and I would meet Post Chorus: G, E, G, E, C (the same as the verse) Verse 2: For 29 years we loved that line And I would take it easy if I had your mind But I'm a cannonball to a house on fire And you're slow like Motown Soul So what now lover with your long black hair? If I cut you open baby I can repair And bandage your wounds with the salt on my tongue And I'm the only one 'round here Pre-Chorus 2: So I'm waiting, so I'm waiting And she's waiting, and she's waiting For us to recover... Chorus 2: So was I good to you, the wife of my youth Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do So I will wait on the edges in between These New York streets Where you and I would meet Bridge: And only I can heal your wounds Only I can heal your wounds When you can't go on When you can't go on When you can't go on When you can't go on, anymore... Muted Pre-Chorus: So was I good to you, the wife of my youth Not another soul could love you Like my... Chorus 3: So was I good to you, the wife of my youth Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do So I will wait on the edges in between These New York streets On all these New York streets Where you and I would meet Hopefully everything is okay but as I worked this out by ear who knows? Enjoy! :)
