miles davis & the cool
the gaslight anthem

standard tuning

A Bm D
look miles davis , i’ve been swayed by the cool .
A Bm
there’s just something about the summertime .
D
there’s just something about the moon .

A Bm D E
so i’ll lay a kiss on this storm , toss it upside your window , by the roof .
A Bm D E
before you change your mind , miles , bring in the cool

interlude
A Bm D
A Bm E
A
now honey , put on your red dress .
Bm D
and you diamond soul shoes .
A
climb on down from that window .
Bm D
climb on out of your room .

A Bm D E
cause i’ve never had a good time and i’ve always had the blues .
A Bm D E
i always heard that you always kind of wandered , miles , strike up the cool .

A E
don’t wait too long to come home .
F# D
my have the years of our youth passed on .
A E
don’t wait too long to come home .
F# D
i’ll leave the front light on .
A E
the night is our own ,
F# D
dont wait too long .

A Bm D
poor mister pitiful , i can’t turn you loose .
A Bm D
you move like a dream i had , woke up sweating in my room .
A Bm D
your mama’s got plans , your Daddy’s aim is true .
A Bm
she never understood that it ain’t no good .
D
papa never heard the cool .

A Bm D E
so now i got out my map and found me a storm .
A Bm
with a flick of the wrist and the turn of the key .
D E
you’ll just fall in my arms .

A E
don’t wait too long to come home .
F# D
my have the years of our youth passed on .
A E
don’t wait too long to come home .
F# D
i’ll leave the front light on .
A E
the night is our own .
F# D
you don’t wait too long .

bridge ( not sure if this is right )
C#m B
so why don’t you sing to me on this long drive home?
F# G#
let the sound of your voice sway sweet and slow .
E B
as we go down , down , down .
C# G#
from our youth to the ground .
C#m D#m
we might always be blue .
jackson!
