LIVE OAK - Jason Isbell
Capo 4
(Am) (Cmaj9) (C)
There's a man who walks beside me he is who I used to be,
(Dm) (Am7) (Fmaj7)
and I wonder if she sees him and confuses him with me
(Am) (Cmaj9) (C)
And I wonder who she's pining for on nights I'm not around
(Fade in) Dm Am7 Fmaj7
Could it be the man who did the things I'm living down
I was rAmougher than the timber Cmaj9shipping Cout of Fond du Lac
When I Dmheaded south at Am7seventeen, the sFmaj7heriff on my back
I'd Amnever held a lover Cmaj9in my aCrms or in my gaze,
So I fDmound another vAm7ictim every Fmaj7couple days
But the Amnight I fell in love with Cmaj9her, I mCade my weakness known
To the Dmfighters and the Am7farmers digging Fmaj7dusty fields alone
The Amjealous innuendos oCmaj9f the lConely-hearted men
Let me Dmknow what kind of cAm7ountry I was sFmaj7leeping in
Well you cAmouldn't stay a loner oCmaj9n the plaCins before the war
When my Dmneighbors took to sAm7lightin' me, I Fmaj7had to ask what for
RuAmmors of my wickednessCmaj9 had reacChed our little town
Soon she'd Dmheard about the Am7boys I used to Fmaj7hang around
We'd robAmbed a great-lakes freighter, Cmaj9killed a Ccouple men aboard
When I Dmtold her, her eyes fAm7lickered like the sFmaj7harp steel of a sword
All the Amthings that she'd suspectedCmaj9, I'd expCected her to fear
Was the tDmruth that drew her Am7to me when I lFmaj7anded here
There's Ama man who walks beside Cmaj9me he is Cwho I used to be,
And I wDmonder if she sAm7ees him and confFmaj7uses him with me
And I woAmnder who she's pining fCmaj9or on nigChts I'm not around
Could it Dmbe the man who dAm7id the things I'm Fmaj7living down
Am Cmaj9 C
Dm Am7 Fmaj7 x2
Well I cAmarved her cross from live oak Cmaj9and her bCox from short-leaf pine,
and burDmied her so dAm7eep, she'd touch theFmaj7 water table line
And pickAmed up what I needed Cmaj9and I heaCded south again
To myseDmlf, I wondered, &Am7quot;Would I Fmaj7ever find another friend"
There's Ama man who walks beside her,Cmaj9 he is wCho I used to be,
and I wDmonder if she sAm7ees him and coFmaj7nfuses him with me
