Tour of Duty Jason Isbell
Tour of Duty
By Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit
I'm [G]arriving on the day's last train
Stepping on the platform, trying to s[G7]ee you through the rain
I don't k[C]now the ways you've changed since I left
and I really don't c[G]are
I've d[D]one my tour of duty now I'm h[C]ome and I ain't going anywh[G]ere
I ta[G]ught myself to tolerate the pain
all the loneliness and boredom and the w[G7]ork I did in vain
All the w[C]ork we did in vain. Now I'm not the same as I [G]was
I've do[D]ne my tour of duty now I'll t[C]ry to do what a civilian[G] does
I pr[B/G]omise not to b[C]ore you with my st[G]ories
I pr[B/G]omise not to sc[C]are you with my te[D]ars
I n[B/G]ever would exa[C]ggerate the gl[G]ory
I'll seem so s[D]atisfied here
Am7 D G Am7 x 4
I've been e[G]ating like I'm out on bail
Collard greens and chicken wings and [G7]oysters by the pail
Eating [C]oysters by the pail, making up for those lost d[G]ays
Cause I've d[D]one my tour of duty now I'm g[C]oing to put you in the family w[G]ay
Mandolin solo over verse chords
We'll [B/G]laugh like little ch[C]ildren telling s[G]ecrets
Probably [B/G]cry like old w[C]omen drinking g[D]in
because I've d[G]one my tour of duty now I'm h[C]ome
and I ain't leaving here ag[G]ain
I've d[D]one my tour of duty now I'm h[C]ome and I ain't leaving here aga[G]in
Am7 D G Am7 x 4
