Daisy Mae Jason Isbell
Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit
"Daisy Mae"
standard tuning, Capo on 3rd fret.
L[Dm]ay down bes[C]ide me
Cl[Dm]ose your eyes and feel the noon d[C]ay sun.
These e[Dm]yes, they rem[C]ind me
Of a sc[Am]ared and simple doe before [G]she runs.
J[Dm]ohn was a B[C]aptist.
He f[Dm]eared the world could end at any t[C]ime.
Y[Dm]ou and I are charged with this, to h[C]old the essence of a kiss.
To t[Am]ake these broken plans and make th[G]em rhyme.
[Am]Dai[B]sy [C]Mae, [Am]Dai[B]sy M[C]ae this hasn't been yo[G]ur day.
Hasn't been y[F]our day.[Am]
He[Dm]re, he never to[C]uched you.
Ins[Dm]ide this house he never called y[C]our name.
So st[Dm]ay where I can see you, girl. [C]We both know the outside world
Is ch[Am]anging and it will never be the s[G]ame.
My h[Dm]ands, they are wi[C]cked.
My h[Dm]ead and my heart are wic[C]ked, too.
[Dm]All these things that I do wrong, If y[C]ou weren't given fear so strong
[Am]I would not be good enough f[G]or you.
D[Am]ais[B]y [C]Mae, [Am]Dai[B]sy M[C]ae, this hasn't been y[G]our day.[F] [Am]
But I[F] won't lay this pistol down
un[C]til the sky falls to the ground.
Le[G]ave him there to call your name
'till m[F]an and land are both the same.
D[Am]ais[B]y M[C]ae, D[Am]ais[B]y M[C]ae, this hasn't been y[G]our day.[F]
D[Am]ais[B]y M[C]ae, D[Am]ais[B]y M[C]ae, this hasn't been y[G]our day.
Hasn't been yo[F]ur day.[Am]
