Cigarettes and Wine
By: Jason Isbell



D     A
Saw her in Roosevelt Springs
       D
time doesn't touch anything
       A
she never did say she could sing
         D
but I figured it so

D       A
I needed some company then
        D
not sisters or children again
          A
that's a hell of a spot to be in
         D
but she put me in tow

D     A
Money and liquor and lust
       D
have taken my heart and my trust
      A
I could see ashes of dust
     D
headed my way

D     A
She tended bar in town
     D
her alto settled me down
       A
so I started hanging around
          D
didn't need much to say

D7        G
She smelled like cigarettes and wine
      D
she kept me happy all the time
         A     A7
I know that ain't much of a line
            D  D7
but it's the God's own truth
        G
she lives down inside of me still
         D
rolled up like a twenty dollar bill
      A        A7
she left me alone with these pills
          D
and the last of my youth

D      A
Wings on her shoulders and feet
     D
a bar on Gethsemane street
      A
I took time to plan retreat
        D
backed out the door

D     A
I must be attracted to those
         D
who've witnessed a man in the throes
       A
Of life that ain't grindstone to nose,
       D
but pedal to floor

D7        G
She smelled like cigarettes and wine
      D
she kept me happy all the time
         A     A7
I know that ain't much of a line
            D  D7
but it's the God's own truth
        G
she lives down inside of me still
         D
rolled up like a twenty dollar bill
      A        A7
she left me alone with these pills
         D
and my smoldering youth

D      A
Lost on the dry side of town
      D
My memories slowing me down
       A
She shook me and I came around
        D
I came back to life

D      A
With nary a mother or dad
       D
She showed me what I never had
         A
Now the princess leaves, she gets sad
           D
'Cause I won't take a wife

D7        G
She smelled like cigarettes and wine
      D
she kept me happy all the time
         A     A7
I know that ain't much of a line
            D  D7
but it's the God's own truth
        G
she lives down inside of me still
         D
rolled up like a twenty dollar bill
      A        A7
she left me alone with these pills
          D
and the last of my youth
