Cover Me Up Jason Isbell
BY JASON ISBELL, FROM SOUTHEASTERN
INTRO: GUITAR INTERLUDE LIKE 1 LINE OF VERSE
*CAPO 2; KEY OF E
VERSE 1:
A heart on the [D]run, keeps a hand on the[G] gun, it can?t trust an[D]yone
I was so sure, [D]what I needed was [G]more, tried to shoot out the [D]sun
In days when we [Bm]raged, we flew off the [G]page, such damage was [D]done
But I made it [D]through, ?cause somebody [G]knew, I was meant for some[D]one
CHORUS 1:
So [D]girl leave your boots by the [G]bed we ain?t leavin? this [D]room
[D]Someone needs medical [G]help or the magnolia?s [D]bloom
It?s [Em]cold in this house and I [G]ain?t goin? out to chop [Bm]wood
So cover me [D]up and know you?re e[G]nough to use me for [D]good
GUITAR INTERLUDE LIKE 1 LINE OF VERSE
VERSE 2:
Put your faith to the [D]test, when I tore off your [G]dress, in Richmond all [D]high
I sobered [D]up, and I swore off that [G]stuff, forever this [D]time
In the old lovers? [Bm]scene, I thought it?d be [G]me, who helped him get [D]home
But home was a [D]dream, one I?d never [G]seen, ?til you came a[D]long
CHORUS 2:
So [D]girl hang your dress up to [G]dry, we ain?t leavin? this [D]room
The [D]Percy Priest break?s open [G]wide and the river runs [D]through*
[Em]Carries this house on the [G]stones like a piece of drift[Bm]wood
Cover me [D]up and know you?re e[G]nough to use me for [D]good
SOLO LIKE 2 LINES OF VERSE

TAG:
Cover me [D]up and know you?re e[G]nough to use me for [D]good
