I know Gaslight tends to play in Eb tuning, but I do love the fresh sound of standard tuning...
so I hope you can enjoy this as much as I do! :) More Gaslight tabs coming, give me a 
if you want to!

VERSE
                                       Bb
It took so long to get me back on my feet
                                                Bb
It takes so long to find the words and the beat

And Charlie's waiting on the end of the phone
            Gm                     F
To hear you call on him to try to recapture

                                              Bb
But them old records won't be saving your soul
                                           Bb
And them feelings got the reasons you know

That you've forgotten somewhere
                           Gm
Riding a train to place

VERSE
                                       Bb
Nothing feels right in the wintery cold
                                             Bb
Steam, heat, clang, and the dark at your door

All the other rooms are a party tonight
            Gm                     F
And you never got an invitation

                                              Bb
And you feel in your bones, steady aching some more
                                           Bb
Twenty five years gone just an hour ago

Momma never told me there'd be days like these
         Gm                   F
Until it was much too late to recover
