GASOLINE (Nathan, Keri Latimer (nee McTighe))
This is a great energy song and it is played with open sounding chords, so if you like that sound
you should drop tune by a half step.
For the detune: Half Step Down
Tuning =  Eb   Ab   Db   Gb   Bb  Eb  
Verse:  Am   Gx3,  F  G  
Chorus:  FG,  F   CBb,  Am  G  
I like to perform the song with a rhythmic strum, so I prefer standard tuning.  I use barre chords
all the way through except for the E chord.  Here is my version:
Verse –  G#m   F#x3,  E  F#  
Chorus –  EF#,  E   B   AF#,  G#m  F#  
1st Verse:
G#mHands glued to the steering wheel,
F#smack between a ledge straight down
and a G#mwall of spruce as thick as thieveF#s.
And as G#msure as a sharp corner comes
a F#jack-knife kind of creepiness,
sweeps G#mup and over mF#e.
Chorus:
Oh gasoEline don’t leak G#mout on me,
two thousand Emiles left to go a brand new Bname,
Ahaircut, hell make me a Eblond
if it’ll blend me G#min, it’ll blend me F#in.
G#m“lovely weather for an April day,
I F#just came through Saskatchewan
from as G#msouth as you can drive before you F#drop.”
Said G#mhe just planned on passing through,
but that he F#didn’t know he’d crash into
tarnEation pouring coffee at a F#lonely old truck…stop.
Chorus (same as above, same every time)
EDown it goes from there on in,
I’m a G#msucker for attention when
it Erevs up to me wheeling like a G#mscreech.
But G#mby degrees his grip got tight,
susF#picion turned his knuckles white,
had to Edrive them in my F#face to find relEief.
Solo:
C#m  B  C#m  B  E  F#
C#m  B  E  E  E  F#
C#mWhere I found the muster is a Bmystery best left
in C#mapartments found deserted and a Esemi-trailer theft.
Where you Eended I’ll pick up,
onwards G#mto Tuktoyaktuk,
about as Enorth as you can go before you F#drop.
Chorus

GASOLINE (Nathan, Keri Latimer (nee McTighe))

This is a great energy song and it is played with open sounding chords, so if you like that sound

you should drop tune by a half step.

For the detune: Half Step Down

Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb

Tuning =

Am G F G

Verse: x3,

F F C Am G

Chorus: G, Bb,

I like to perform the song with a rhythmic strum, so I prefer standard tuning. I use barre chords

all the way through except for the E chord. Here is my version:

G#m F# E F#

Verse – x3,

E E B A G#m F#

Chorus – F#, F#,

1st Verse:

G#m

Hands glued to the steering wheel,

smack between a ledge straight down

G#m F#

and a wall of spruce as thick as thieves.

G#m

And as sure as a sharp corner comes

a jack-knife kind of creepiness,

G#m F#

sweeps up and over me.

Chorus:

E G#m

Oh gasoline don’t leak out on me,

E B

two thousand miles left to go a brand new name,

A E

haircut, hell make me a blond

G#m F#

if it’ll blend me in, it’ll blend me in.

G#m

“lovely weather for an April day,

I just came through Saskatchewan

G#m F#

from as south as you can drive before you drop.”

G#m

Said he just planned on passing through,

but that he didn’t know he’d crash into

E F#

tarnation pouring coffee at a lonely old truck…stop.

Chorus (same as above, same every time)

Down it goes from there on in,

G#m

I’m a sucker for attention when

E G#m

it revs up to me wheeling like a screech.

G#m

But by degrees his grip got tight,

suspicion turned his knuckles white,

E F# E

had to drive them in my face to find relief.

Solo:

C#m B C#m B E F#

C#m B E E E F#

C#m B

Where I found the muster is a mystery best left

C#m E

in apartments found deserted and a semi-trailer theft.

Where you ended I’ll pick up,

G#m

onwards to Tuktoyaktuk,

E F#

about as north as you can go before you drop.

Chorus
