from the Album "Here We Rest"
by Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit


    E                  E
I knew this lady from Tennessee
  E                          E
moved to California, didn't stay with me
      A                                    E
Just packed a bag and left with me passed out
 B                     A                       E
Never could believe a word that come from her mouth

     E              E
She told me once, drunk on wine
   E                          E
She'd be beside me until the end of time
         A                            E
but the end of time came early at my house
 B                     A                       E
Never could believe a word that come from her mouth

       A                                           E
There weren't no truth in a word that little girl said
    A                                   F#                  B
The only time she didn't lie to me was rolling in the big old bed
      
      E               E
She worked real hard every day
     E
but old fame and fortune never came her way
          A                                E
It just slid on by like springtime in the South
 B                     A                       E
Never could believe a word that come from her mouth

F#  B  F#  C# B  F#    E

       E                       E
Well she came back home on a trailways bus
 E                              E
Stole a pack of camels for the both of us
      A                                       E
She crawled right up to the front door of my house
 B                     A                        E
Never could believe a word that comes from her mouth

       A                                           E
There weren't no truth in a word that little girl said
    A                                   F#                   B
The only time she didn't lie to me was rolling in the big old bed

   E                   E
I knew this lady from Tennessee
 E                           E
moved to California, didn't stay with me
       A                                  E
Just packed a bag and left with me passed out
      B                     A                       E
No I never could believe a word that come from her mouth
