Jason Isbell- "The Magician"
From the Album Sirens of the Ditch

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:

DI am an C/Gorphan man but Em/Gain't we all F#/G G
DI could bC/Ge somewhere worse than Em/Ghere F#/G G
(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/GI was called C/Gamazing
Am/GI make folks C/Gbelieve
Am/GWith nothing C/Gin my pockets
Am/GAnd nothing uC/Gp 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
