here comes my man – the gaslight anthem – handwritten
standard or whole step down tuning ( dgcfad )
( capo 3 for standard , capo 5 for whole step )
arranged by jack cookson ( torn_asunder )

this is the way i saw brian play it during gaslight’s set on letterman show .
it doesn’t really matter if you tune down or not because his use of a capo
is purely for the chord voicings – so if you don’t wanna tune down , just
stick a capo on 3rd .
