Chords

By: Jason Isbell
D          A
Saw her in Roosevelt Springs

             D
time doesn't touch anything

              A
she never did say she could sing

                 D
but I figured it so

D             A
I needed some company then

               D
not sisters or children again

                   A
that's a hell of a spot to be in

                  D
but she put me in tow

D         A
Money and liquor and lust

              D
have taken my heart and my trust

            A
I could see ashes of dust

          D
headed my way

D          A
She tended bar in town

         D
her alto settled me down

             A
so I started hanging around

                    D
didn't need much to say

D7               G
She smelled like cigarettes and wine

            D
she kept me happy all the time

                  A         A7
I know that ain't much of a line

                       D   D7
but it's the God's own truth

               G
she lives down inside of me still

                 D
rolled up like a twenty dollar bill

            A                A7
she left me alone with these pills

                   D
and the last of my youth

D            A
Wings on her shoulders and feet

         D
a bar on Gethsemane street

            A
I took time to plan retreat

               D
backed out the door

D         A
I must be attracted to those

                 D
who've witnessed a man in the throes

             A
Of life that ain't grindstone to nose,

             D
but pedal to floor

D7               G
She smelled like cigarettes and wine

            D
she kept me happy all the time

                  A         A7
I know that ain't much of a line

                       D   D7
but it's the God's own truth

               G
she lives down inside of me still

                 D
rolled up like a twenty dollar bill

            A                A7
she left me alone with these pills

                  D
and my smoldering youth

D           A
Lost on the dry side of town

            D
My memories slowing me down

             A
She shook me and I came around

               D
I came back to life

D           A
With nary a mother or dad

              D
She showed me what I never had

                 A
Now the princess leaves, she gets sad

                      D
'Cause I won't take a wife

D7               G
She smelled like cigarettes and wine

            D
she kept me happy all the time

                  A         A7
I know that ain't much of a line

                       D   D7
but it's the God's own truth

               G
she lives down inside of me still

                 D
rolled up like a twenty dollar bill

            A                A7
she left me alone with these pills

                   D
and the last of my youth
