Our Father's Sons

Really simple as best as I can tell.

Guitar is tuned a full step down (DGCFAD)

Intro lick (note this is on the two lowest strings):


G|---0-2-3
D|3---------

Chord progession seems to be the same pretty much the whole way through:

C C/B E Am F G

(You just hit the C/B quickly in a walkdown)

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but this sounds good to my ears playing through a few times. The lead part probably wouldn't be too difficult to figure out either but I haven't taken the time.

I just love when bands play that E major (D Maj in TGA Tuning) chord out of key. It sounds so amazing.

This song is a previously unreleased demo from 2008 when The Gaslight Anthem were
writing The '59 Sound. The track is part of a charity compilation and you can hear it at

Guitar is tuned one whole step down (DGCFAd)

Intro lick:
G|---0-2-3---|
D|3----------|

Chord progression throughout the entire song is:

C C/B E Am F G

(The C/B is just part of a walkdown)

At the end of the song, they play the intro riff to "Great Expectations."

d|-------5--------8---7------|
A|-----------5-----------8---|
F|----5----------------------|
C|---------------------------|
G|---------------------------|
D|---------------------------|

Help me sing
All you weary strangers raise your voice
In this chain gang chorus in our younger days
My brothers, we were naive sailors
Storms we'd all endure
Oh the road, oh you who sing her praises [...]
The places that she takes us, the choice is ours
We wanted much more than our fathers
While our mothers said their prayers

Now moving on up, to the east side
We finally got a piece of the pie
