Cigarettes and Wine Jason Isbell
Saw her in Roose[D]velt Spring[A]s
time doesn't [D]touch anything
she never did [A]say she could sing
but I figured it [D]so
[D]I needed some [A]company then
not sisters or [D]children again
that's a hell of a [A]spot to be in
but she put me in [D]tow
[D]Money and [A]liquor and lust
have taken my [D]heart and my trust
I could see [A]ashes of dust
headed my [D]way
[D]She tended [A]bar in town
her alto [D]settled me down
so I started [A]hanging around
didn't need much to [D]say
[D7]She smelled like [G]cigarettes and wine
she kept me [D]happy all the time
I know that ain't [A]much of a [A7]line
but it's the God's own [D]trut[D7]h
she lives down [G]inside of me still
rolled up like a [D]twenty dollar bill
she left me [A]alone with these [A7]pills
and the last of my [D]youth
[D]Wings on her [A]shoulders and feet
a bar on [D]Gethsemane street
I took time [A]to plan retreat
backed out the [D]door
[D]I must be [A]attracted to those
who've witnessed [D]a man in the throes
Of life that [A]ain't grindstone to nose,
but pedal to [D]floor
[D7]She smelled like [G]cigarettes and wine
she kept me [D]happy all the time
I know that ain't [A]much of a [A7]line
but it's the God's own [D]trut[D7]h
she lives down [G]inside of me still
rolled up like a [D]twenty dollar bill
she left me [A]alone with these [A7]pills
and my smoldering [D]youth
[D]Lost on the [A]dry side of town
My memories [D]slowing me down
She shook me [A]and I came around
I came back to [D]life
[D]With nary a [A]mother or dad
She showed me [D]what I never had
Now the princess [A]leaves, she gets sad
'Cause I won't take a [D]wife
[D7]She smelled like [G]cigarettes and wine
she kept me [D]happy all the time
I know that ain't [A]much of a [A7]line
but it's the God's own [D]trut[D7]h
she lives down [G]inside of me still
rolled up like a [D]twenty dollar bill
she left me [A]alone with these [A7]pills
and the last of my [D]youth
