The '59 Sound Lyrics & Chords By The Gaslight Anthem

Well I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go
I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow
When we float out into the ether into the everlasting arms
I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life
'Cause the chains I've been hearin' now for most of my life
And the chains I've been hearin' now for most of my life
Did you hear the '59 sound
Coming through on Grandmama's radio?
Did you hear the rattlin' chains
In the hospital walls?
Did you hear the old gospel choir
When they came to carry you over?
Did you hear your favorite song
One last time?
And I wonder, were you scared when the metal hit the glass?
See I was playing a show down the road when your spirit left your body
And they told me on the front lawn, I'm sorry I couldn't go
But I still know the song and the words and her name and the reasons
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
Did you hear the '59 sound
Coming through on Grandmama's radio?
Did you hear the rattlin' chains
In the hospital walls?
Did you hear the old gospel choir
When they came to carry you over?
Did you hear your favorite song
One last time?
Young boys, young girls
Young boys, young girls
Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
Well they ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
Did you hear the '59 sound
Coming through on Grandmama's radio?
Did you hear the rattlin' chains
In the hospital walls?
Did you hear the old gospel choir
When they came to carry you over?
Did you hear your favorite song
One last time?
Young boys, young girls
Young boys, young girls
