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
