Jason Isbell- "The Magician" From the Album Sirens of the Ditch http://www.jasonisbell.com/ Just thought I'd be the first to put up a Jason Isbell tab on this site. Its my first so it may look a little sloppy. I don't really know if the names of the chords I wrote are so I just figured I'd write them down. I'm pretty sure this is the way he plays the chords in the songs as well. Chords used- G: 3x0033 F#/G: 2x0033 Em/G: 02x033 D: xx0232 C/G: x3x033 Am/G: x02233 Intro: G F#/G Em/G G F#/G Em/G G F#/G Em/G D C/G Verse: G F#/G Em/G You watch every move G F#/G Em/G and call it slight of hand G F#/G Em/G you know it's what I do D C/G but never who I am, never who I am G F#/G Em/G started on the street G F#/G Em/G cards and dollar bills G F#/G Em/G shuffling my feet D C/G G never could be still, never could be still Chorus: D C/G Em/G G and I am an orphan man but ain't we all D C/G Em/G F#/G G I can make myself disappear D C/G Em/G F#/G G I am an orphan man but ain't we all D C/G Em/G F#/G G I could be somewhere worse than here (Next two verses and all following choruses are the same) I had a bride sawed her in half couple people cried but most of them just laughed, most of them just laughed and I had a son strong of hand and will taught him how to run but never how to steal, never how to steal I am an orphan man but ain't we all I can't make myself reappear I am an orphan man but ain't we all I hope there's somewhere worse than here Bridge: Am/G C/G I was called amazing Am/G C/G I make folks believe Am/G C/G With nothing in my pockets Am/G C/G And nothing up my sleeve (solo/bridge chords same as verses) I am an orphan man but ain't we all I can make myself disappear I am an orphan man but ain't we all and I know there's somewhere worse than here worse than here worse than here
