Artist/Band: Jason Isbell Tabs
Song: Cigarettes And Wine Tab
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
I needed some company then
not sisters or children again
that's a hell of a spot to be in
but she put me in tow
Money and liquor and lust
have taken my heart and my trust
I could see ashes of dust
headed my way
She tended bar in town
her alto settled me down
so I started hanging around
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
Wings on her shoulders and feet
a bar on Gethsemane street
I took time to plan retreat
backed out the door
I must be attracted to those
who've witnessed a man in the throes
Of life that ain't grindstone to nose,
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
Lost on the dry side of town
My memories slowing me down
She shook me and I came around
I came back to life
With nary a mother or dad
She showed me what I never had
The princess of leaves, she gets sad
'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
