The Gaslight Anthem – Once Upon A Time tab

Once Upon A Time by The Gaslight Anthem

Cover of a Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise song

Great song by a great band. If you're reading this, I'm sure you agree so I won't preach
the choir.
Anyway, Gaslight's cover is in the key of Bb, versus the original's key of A.
I haven't found a clear video of them playing this song so I'm figuring it out by ear 
basing
off of Chris Cusick's tab of the original RBBS version. Also, this is my FIRST tab 
That means there's probably more than a few errors or things not exactly right (i.e.
chord vs 1st position). So if you see something wrong or it doesn't sound right, or even 
a riff to add, post it! I'll gladly fix this tab.

It might be easier w/ capo, so here are chords for that (though I think they use barre on the album): Capo on 1

Bb Dm Eb Bb Once upon a time, when I was in high school Bb Dm Eb Bb I was in love with you, lady and you treated me so cool. Bb Dm Eb Bb I was drivin' a Chevy '72 Bb C#m Eb Bb had 4 on the floor, girl, a hundred 20 it would do F Cm Bb I remember Marvin Gaye, singin', What's Goin On? Bb Dm Eb Bb There was a war, baby, somewhere across the sea Bb Dm Eb Bb I don't wanna go and fight, girl, 'cause you were really lovin' me. F Cm Bb I remember Martin Luther King, lord he was the man, babe Gm that gave us all a dream. F Cm Bb I remember Marvin Gaye, singin', What's Goin On... Gm Don't play with my love no, F Gm Bb I remember Marvin Gaye, singin', What's Goin On. Bb Dm Eb Bb We used to have sweet music in the park Bb Dm Eb Bb Lord up at Monterrey straight down to the melody park Bb Dm Eb Bb You used to wear girl, them hot pants Bb Dm Eb Bb When you strolled down the hall, all the boys wanted a chance... F Cm Bb I remember Marvin Gaye, singin', What's Goin On... Gm Don't play with my love, no... F Cm Bb I remember Otis Redding, Sittin' at the Dock of the Bay--- Gm but then he went away.. F Cm Bb I remember Sam Cooke ya'll, Bring It On Home To Me, Gm from your love I can't be free... F Cm Bb I remember Elvis Presley, and them Blue Suede Shoes Gm lord they gave me the blues. F Cm Bb I remember Marvin Gaye, singin'...Let's get it on READ!!: I know there are more guitar riffs in the chorus and such, but I'm having trouble making out exactly on my crap speakers. From what I can tell, they're just variations using same notes in "Riff 1," and adding an A here and there (B string, 10th fret). If you it all out, post it! Enjoy!
