Cigarettes and Wine
By: Jason Isbell
D MajorD A augmentedA
Saw her in Roosevelt Springs
D MajorD
time doesn't touch anything
A augmentedA
she never did say she could sing
D MajorD
but I figured it so
D MajorD A augmentedA
I needed some company then
D MajorD
not sisters or children again
A augmentedA
that's a hell of a spot to be in
D MajorD
but she put me in tow
D MajorD A augmentedA
Money and liquor and lust
D MajorD
have taken my heart and my trust
A augmentedA
I could see ashes of dust
D MajorD
headed my way
D MajorD A augmentedA
She tended bar in town
D MajorD
her alto settled me down
A augmentedA
so I started hanging around
D MajorD
didn't need much to say
D7D7 G+G
She smelled like cigarettes and wine
D MajorD
she kept me happy all the time
A augmentedA A7A7
I know that ain't much of a line
D MajorD D7D7
but it's the God's own truth
G+G
she lives down inside of me still
D MajorD
rolled up like a twenty dollar bill
A augmentedA A7A7
she left me alone with these pills
D MajorD
and the last of my youth
D MajorD A augmentedA
Wings on her shoulders and feet
D MajorD
a bar on Gethsemane street
A augmentedA
I took time to plan retreat
D MajorD
backed out the door
D MajorD A augmentedA
I must be attracted to those
D MajorD
who've witnessed a man in the throes
A augmentedA
Of life that ain't grindstone to nose,
D MajorD
but pedal to floor
D7D7 G+G
She smelled like cigarettes and wine
D MajorD
she kept me happy all the time
A augmentedA A7A7
I know that ain't much of a line
D MajorD D7D7
but it's the God's own truth
G+G
she lives down inside of me still
D MajorD
rolled up like a twenty dollar bill
A augmentedA A7A7
she left me alone with these pills
D MajorD
and my smoldering youth
D MajorD A augmentedA
Lost on the dry side of town
D MajorD
My memories slowing me down
A augmentedA
She shook me and I came around
D MajorD
I came back to life
D MajorD A augmentedA
With nary a mother or dad
D MajorD
She showed me what I never had
A augmentedA
Now the princess leaves, she gets sad
D MajorD
'Cause I won't take a wife
D7D7 G+G
She smelled like cigarettes and wine
D MajorD
she kept me happy all the time
A augmentedA A7A7
I know that ain't much of a line
D MajorD D7D7
but it's the God's own truth
G+G
she lives down inside of me still
D MajorD
rolled up like a twenty dollar bill
A augmentedA A7A7
she left me alone with these pills
D MajorD
and the last of my youth
