                Am
We\'ll take the copper 
from the work-site

Meet me here at midnight

camera or a guard

Write my own prescription

The kids won\'t even

know my name
       C
Put a gallon in 
the step-side

With a little help

C   Em  D  Cmaj7

[Verse]
Am
Never thought I\'d wind up
Em
This far behind
        D          
Just a couple years
                Cmaj7
 back we had it made

       C
I was emptying my bladder
      Em
On  a 20-ft ladder
             D
Should have climbed down
                      Cmaj7
And found myself some shade

[Verse]
     C
The doctor took 
a quick look
    Em
And I got out
 the checkbook
     D                
And left with a pocket
         Cmaj7
 full of pills

        C
Now my back\'s still hurting
        Em
And I\'m too weak for working
       D            
And I can\'t keep up 
              C
with all the bills

    [Chorus]
G                       
  She used to wake me up
         C     
 with cooooffee
        Cmaj7
 every morning
         Em              
And I\'d hear her homemade
  D           C
 house shoes slide
 across the floor

G                         
  She used to make me feel
           C          Cmaj7
 like the King of Oklahoma
     Em               D  
But nothing makes me feel
               C     
 like much of nothing
   Cmaj7
anymore

[Solo]
Am  Em  D  Cmaj7
Cmaj7  Em  D  Cmaj7

[Verse]
m
I was all set up to do it
          Em
But some bastard 
beat me to it
         D         
Ain\'t a copper pipe
            Cmaj7
 left on the lot

       C
Got a loan out on the truck
         Em
But I\'m running out of luck
         D          
And the title is the
             C
 only thing I\'ve got

[Verse]
 C
Molly\'s gonna leave me
EM
Says she don\'t believe me
D            
I got nothing 
             Cmaj7
left to lie about
       C
She\'s going back to Bixby
Em
Tired of trying to fix me
D                        C
Says I got some shit to figure out

[Chorus]
G                       
  She used to wake me up
         C             Cmaj7
 with cooooffee every morning
         Em              
And I\'d hear her homemade
  D           C
 house shoes slide
 across the floor

G                         
  She used to make me feel 
           C          Cmaj7
like the King of Oklahoma
     Em               D  
But nothing makes me feel
               C
 like much of nothing anymore

[Chorus]
G                            
  She used to wake me up with
    C             Cmaj7
 cooooffee every morning
         Em             D      
And I\'d act like I was sleeping
          C
 \'til she walked back
 through the door
G                          
  She used to make me feel 
          C
like the King of Oklahoma
     Em               D  
But nothing makes me feel
               C
 like much of nothing
 anymore

    This is the chords of River by Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

    [Verse 1]
    G                           G/B
    The river is my savior
    C                          G
    Cause she used to be a cloud
    G                                     G/B
    She\’s happy just to lay there
    Dsus4                                      D
    When she used to be so proud
    G                          G/B                          C                          G
    And even when she dries up a thousand years from now
    G                          Em                         D                          G
    I\’ll lay myself beside her and call her name out loud

    [Verse 2]
    G                          G/B
    The river is my savior
    C                                      G
    The only one I\’ll ever need
    G                                                  G/B
    Wash my head when I\’ve been sinning
    Dsus4                                      D
    Wash my knuckles when they bleed
    G                                      G/B
    Protect me from my neighbor
    C                                      G
    All this jealousy and greed
    G                          Em
    Take the body to the delta
    D                                      G
    Hide the weapon in the weeds

    [Chorus]
    Am7                                                  C
    But now I\’m tired and a little bit confused
    G                                                  D
    Regarding what I meant to do and what I did
    Am7                                                  C
    The men I\’ve hired they all seem to be afraid of me
    G                                                                          D
    They turn their eyes away from me like kids

    [Verse 3]
    G                          G/B
    The river hears my secrets
    C                                      G
    Things I cannot tell a soul
    G                                      G/B
    Like the children that I\’ve orphaned
    Dsus4                             D
    And the fortune that I stole
    G                                      G/B
    The neighbor who asked questions
    C                                         G
    Until he washed up on the shore
    G                                                  Em
    But I\’ve done the law some favors
    D                          G
    So nobody has to know

    [Chorus]
    Am7                                      C
    Now I\’m tired and I just can\’t get to sleep
    G                                                              D
    I\’ve been awoke from all these sheep for all my life
    Am7                                                              C
    The lake of fire it consumes me in my dreams
    G                                                              D
    And last night I woke up screaming at my wife

    [Verse 4]
    G                          G/B
    The river is my savior
    C                          G
    She\’s running to the sea
    G                                      G/B
    And to reach her destination
    Dsus4                          D
    Is to simply cease to be
    G                                      G/B
    And running until you\’re nothing
    C                                      G
    Sounds a lot like being free
    G                          Em
    So I\’ll lay myself inside her
    D                                      G
    And I\’ll let her carry me

Don\'t wash the cast 
      G
iron skillet
D                G/F# 
Don\'t drink and drive, 
       G         G/A
you\'ll spill it
G/B   G/A          G        
Don\'t ask too many questions
                        D
 or you\'ll never get to sleep
              G/F#        
There\'s a hole inside you,
G
 fill it

[Verse 1]
D                  G/F#
Shower up and shave
    G
Put flowers on the grave
            G/B              G/A
And ask the Lord to save his soul
             G
Although you know it\'s too late
D            G/F#     G
Was it 27 times, or was it 29?
            G/B  
I heard the blade
           G/A
 broke off inside the man
       G
And he took a while to die
D                     G/F#
How did he get so low?

    G
Seems like just a week ago
        G/B              G/A G
We were 10 and 12 years old
D                     G/F#
He was sweet and soft
G
Shied away from the 
inside fastballs
    G/B        G/A 
And died doing life 
               G
without parole

[Chorus]
D                G/F#   G
Don\'t wash the cast iron skillet
D                   G/F#
That dog bites my kid,

Don\'t walk where

                G
you can\'t see your feet

Don\'t ask questions just
   G
 believe it

[Verse 2]
D                       G/F#
Jamie found a boyfriend
     G
With smiling eyes and dark skin
        G/B         G/A  
And her daddy never spoke
         G
 another word to her again
D                            G/F#
The old man at the Quickstop
G
Lying to the county cops
    G/B               G/A
And laughing like his soul 
              G
was without sin
D                      G/F#
How did he get so low?
G
Seems like just a week ago
        G/B            
She was sitting on your
 G/A                G
 shoulders watching fireworks 
in the sky
D                          G/F#
He treats her like a queen
G
But you don\'t know 
\'cause you ain\'t seen
     G/B                G/A 
It\'s hard to go through life 
              G
without your daddy by your side

[Chorus]
D               G/F#      G
Don\'t wash the cast iron skillet
D                   
This town won\'t get 
  G/F#      G      G/A
no better, will it
G/B       G/A            
She found love and it was
 G
 simple as a weathervane
D                       G
Her own family tried to kill him
D                 G/F#   G
Don\'t wash the cast iron skillet
D                 G/F#   G
Don\'t wash the cast iron skillet
D                 G/F#   G
Don\'t wash the cast iron

There\'s a young man
             A     D

He got square-toed boots,

You were thick-cut bacon

 on Texas toast
D                   
Prairie dogs popping

It was Friday night

But it hurts to move and 
    A        Bm
it hurts to learn
A      G                 
I just kept on going when 
   A      D
I made a wrong turn

[Chorus]

I remember you looking
 A     Bm
 up at me
A        G            
Drinking Irish whiskey
        A     D
 on the Irish sea
D                            
And we walked through weather

Strawberry woman with

bar was closed
A  G                
Dancing on the table
        A      D
 with a bloody nose
D                      
And you still look fine
         A          Bm
 and you still look free
G                   
Strawberry woman with 
       A       D
your back to me

[Verse 1]
        Em            G   
I got a picture of us back
              D
 when we were close
          Em          
Before we had somebody
 G           D
 picking out our clothes
        Em     G     
But you always dressed 
          D
in your Sunday best
     Em             G   
Even when we didn\'t have 
            D
nowhere to go
        Em        
I got a picture of
    G            D
 us playing in a bar
         Em         G   
And your shirt cost more 
           D
than your guitar
        Em        G        
But you played so heavy and
     D
 you always let me sing
  Em          G     
A couple even though 
              D
you were the star

    [Chorus]
C         G       
I was the worse of 
     D
the two of us
C         G           
But Rex\'s Blues wasn\'t 
 D
through with us
C                  G    
You were bound for glory 
     D        Am
and grown to die
C                  Em   G
Oh, but why wasn\'t I?
D          Em    G    D
Why wasn\'t I?

[Verse 2]
      Em            
Saw a picture of you 
 G             D
laughing with your child
      Em           
And I hope she will 
   G          D
remember how you smiled
        Em           
But she probably 
        G    
wasn\'t old enough,
      D
 the night somebody 
sold you stuff
     Em             
That left you on the
 G        D
 bathroom tiles
      Em            
Got a picture of you 
 G        D
dying in my mind
          Em        
With some ghosts you 
          G             D
couldn\'t bear to leave behind
    Em                 
But I can hear your

 voice ring,
         D
 as you snap another B-string
        Em         
And you finish off 
    G          D
the set with only five
Am                    
And for a minute there,
                     C
 you\'re still alive

It\'s not up to me to

 forgive you
C                       
For the nights that your 
 G           D
love had to live through
C                G   
Now you\'ll never need
            D      Am   C
 to look me in the eye

C        G     
I am the last of

the two of us

But the Fort Worth blues

 isn\'t through with us

You\'ve traveled beyond

You\'ll feel a lot better

[Pre-Chorus]

I was raised in the church
I was washed in the blood

Before we even left home
       Em
If his love is unconditional
G
Why do I feel so miserable?
Em                      
Why are you digging your

May the wind take your

Could have been
 somebody\'s father

Couldn\'t boil a pot of water

I was nineteen years old
             G
 in nineteen ninety eight

[Pre-Chorus]

Raised in the church
Washed in the blood and

we all were saved
                    G
Before we even left home
        Em
I thank God you weren\'t
 brought up like me
     G
With all that shame 
and certainty
        Em            
And I\'m sorry you had

to go in that room alone

         E     A E 
But, I\'m tired      
          A           E
by the middle of the morning
  A       E
I need someone to blame

    [Verse 1]
              B          
I know you\'re scared of me, 
         A
I can see it in your face
       E                
I can feel it in the way 
           C#m
you move around this place
               B           
I know you\'re scared of me,
        A
 I can see it in your smile
         E              
Like an unattended child 
                  B
you can\'t quitе trust

[Chorus 2]
         E   A E            
But I\'m tired    of steppin\'
 A       E
 on your shadow
       A     E
And feeling in the way
         E    A E   
Yеs, I\'m tired    by 
           A       E
the middle of the morning
          A        E
I\'m out of shit to say

[Verse 2]
         B           
I ain\'t used to this,
           A
 seein\' everybody\'s hand
       E                   
I was raised to be a strong 
             C#m
and silent Southern man
         B                A
I ain\'t used to this, a thousand 
days alone
      E        
In my bed or in 
                  B
my head or in my phone

[Chorus 3]
          E    A E         
Yes, I\'m tired     of livin\'
 A       E
 in the moment
        A             E
And sleeping through the dream
          E   A E       
I step outside    in the
        A      E
 middle of the morning
           A             E
And the roses hear the scream

[Interlude]
F#m  C#m E   B x3
A
E   A E   A E
A E   A E
A E   A E
A E

[Verse 3]
               B          
I know you\'re scared of me, 
         A
so I never get too close
       E              
I just sit here on the 
                C#m
tailgate like a farmhand\'s ghost
           B         
Watch the roses bloom,
             A
 watch \'em wilt away and die
         E              
\'till I notice I\'ve been 
                B
cryin\' this whole time

    [Chorus 1]
        E    A E      A 
Well, I tried    to open 
    E
up my window
     A            E
And let the light come in
       E      A E   
I step outside    in 
       A            E
the middle of the morning
             A      E
And in the evening again
