By Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit from the album "Here We Rest"
    G
I'm arriving on the day's last train

                                     G7
Stepping on the platform, trying to see you through the rain

         C
I don't know the ways you've changed since I left

                    G
and I really don't care

      D                            C                          G
I've done my tour of duty now I'm home and I ain't going anywhere

    G 
I taught myself to tolerate the pain

                                        G7
all the loneliness and boredom and the work I did in vain

         C                                             G
All the work we did in vain. Now I'm not the same as I was

       D                            C                       G
I've done my tour of duty now I'll try to do what a civilian does

    Bm           C                 G                              
I promise not to bore you with my stories

    Bm            C                 D
I promise not to scare you with my tears

   Bm           C             G
I never would exaggerate the glory

              D
I'll seem so satisfied here
Am7 D G Am7 x 4
           G             
I've been eating like I'm out on bail

                                     G7
Collard greens and chicken wings and oysters by the pail

       C                                              G
Eating oysters by the pail, making up for those lost days

            D                            C                              G
Cause I've done my tour of duty now I'm going to put you in the family way
Mandolin solo over verse chords
      Bm                 C               G
We'll laugh like little children telling secrets

         Bm           C              D
Probably cry like old women drinking gin

              G                            C
because I've done my tour of duty now I'm home

                           G
and I ain't leaving here again

      D                            C                               G
I've done my tour of duty now I'm home and I ain't leaving here again
Am7 D G Am7 x 4
