The other Gasoline tab is spot on with the chords, but I wanted to throw this one up with the tabs for the
second guitar. This track is from the deluxe release of O' Be Joyful (original version on Shovels and Rope).
A lot of the second guitar part is just about feeling it. Don't be scared to make it your own, you can't go
wrong. It's ShoRo!
"Gasoline"
by Shovels & Rope
'O' Be Joyful' (Deluxe Edition)
Guitar 1:
Intro: G  
GPack em up Charlie gonna Cleave this Gplace
Turn our shoulders to an Dempty Gspace
It don't matter if you're Cgone toGday

Rich is rich and Cpoor is Gpoor
And the money you had ain't Dgood no Gmore
Wait in a line, Cwait in a Gline
Hey mister can I buy a Dlittle Gtime
DEverything you planted has Amgone to Crot
And Gno one around to buy the little you got
DFour big wheels AmAmerican Csteel
GPouring gasoline on the killing field
G   C   G   D   Gx2
March them soldiers Cdown that Gline
March them boys in Dstraight Gtime
Them poor boys are like Cfuel on the Gfire
Bad news comin' down the DAP GWire
Taciturn, do your Cfingers Gburn
What if anything Ddid you Gearn
Ain't a taste that can CsatisGfy
The blood lust of the Dyouth gone Gwild

Everybody's sick there's a fever goin' around
Set it on fire and burn the whole thing down

Where no one has to hear that Dterrible Gsound
DEverything you planted has Amgone to Crot
