We Did It When We Were Young

this is the last song on gaslight anthem’s soon to be released "american slang" . it’s really simple , just palm mute these power chords throughout the song . in the last Chorus they start strumming openly . hope you enjoy , one of my favorites off the new album . Intro : Bm F# G D G D A Bm F# don’t write me no more letters G D my mailbox is full of bombs G D A between you and the kooks on my block Bm F# i don’t remember the good times G D i wasn’t there and you were kind G D A and my wife has some dogs in our yard G D A Bm and i cannot hold a candle for every pretty girl G D we were strangers many hours A and i missed you for so long Bm A when we were lions , lovers in combat G D - A - G faded like your name on those jeans that i burned D A but i Am older now Bm G and we did it when we were young D A i Am older now Bm G and we did it when we were young * repeat the exact pattern as the first half of the song * there are no reasons to believe i buried my faith in an unmarked plot with your heart and your clothes when i find that i don’t feel you or recall i’ll put your bones out in the yard someone else to be called and called by and i cannot hold a candle for every pretty girl we were strangers many hours and i missed you for so long when we were lions , lovers in combat faded like your name on those jeans that i burned but i Am older now and we did it when we were young i Am older now and we did it when we were young i Am older now and we did it when we were young i Am older now * a note , they hold out the last line of the Chorus by playing * Bm A D and we did it when we were young
