Lumberlung chords by Slobberbone

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:
G            D       Em
A breath of whiskey on my cotton shirt
        C          G
Turn on the fan, take off your skirt
              D
Lay here beside me on these sheets so stained
   C           G
For a little while, but it ain't the same


Chorus:
Em               C           G
And she brings me water and it always tastes so good
           D        Em
She brings me flowers from the woods
                    C            G
Stays here in this house with me when I know she'd rather leave
       D      G
Stays with me as I sleep
             D
And she helps me nurse my lumberlung
      C
But it's no longer fun
  G
For her

C G C

Verse 2:
G                D     Em
Once I dreamed we'd took a roadtrip, just me and her
                 C
Through the southern and midwest states
G              D        C
Turned north just south of Arkansas and we headed up
            G
Towards the vast Great Lakes

Outro:
Em                     D           G
And I thought I'd sleep through Texas, but I woke up in Illinois
                    D
And the car in the lane next to me was driven by a little boy
Em                  C              Em
And he flashed a smile at me then he drove straight off the road
            C            G
Smacked an overpass, I watched his car explode
                 D
And when she wakes me from my delirium
       C
I know I'm no longer fun
  G
For her

Solo:

Chorus:
Em               C           G
And she brings me water and it always tastes so good
           D        Em
She brings me flowers from the woods
                    C            G
Stays here in this house with me when I know she'd rather leave
       D      G
Stays with me constantly
             D
And she helps me nurse my lumberlung
      C
But it's no longer fun
  G    G
For her...
       D            C      G
God damn this lumberlung I know I'm no longer fun
