Leather Jacket Love Song


This song is played with a capo on the third fret. The tab below is how to play it without one (the way I prefer!). It’s not note perfect but it’s near enough.

e|--------6----------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------8------------8--------------4-------6-6-6-8-6-6----------|
G|---8-8------8------------8--------------5-----7-7-7-7-7-7----------|
D|-----------------10-10-----10-----6-6-----6---8-8-8-8-8-8----------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------|


D#                                 Cm
10 years old in 200 and 1 is long gone
D#                                                    Cm
So I didnt want to write another leather jacket love song
G#               A#                 D#
But you were a drug I couldn't hide from
G#               A#               D#
And I know, it's not the same for you


D#                                                 Cm
In truth you're a saving grace but you never knew what
D#                                                  Cm                      
If I was born at all, I knew I was always born to lose.
G#              A#                   D#
But you were a drug I couldn't hide from
G#                A#              D#
And I hope, it's not the same for you



Then these two descending notes right before ‘in the dark of your city……’
e|---------|
B----------|
G|---------|
D|---------|
A|--6-5----|
E|---------|


Gm                  Cm
In the dark of your city
Fm                            A#
I wonder if you ever call my name
Gm                                         Cm
And in boxes and drawers, I'll hide our memories
Fm                               A#
In case I need to live my life again


Then back to the intro and verse again. I shall try and tab the solo so keep your eyes peeled!
