Jason Isbell - Soldiers Get Strange
I play it starting on 7th fret, drop the G on B string once, like this:
EmCD
Rest of the song I play normally, i.e. Em is 022000
You wGant her to G/Ftry new tChings. She reGminds you she wG/Fears your rCing.
And aGfter a cG/Fouple o? drCinks, she's a little sGcared of you.G/F C
A gGood friend is G/Fhard to fCind. You wGish you could sG/Fpend more tCime
Gtowing ciG/Fvilian liCnes, but they're all sGcared of you. G/F C
It's not the tEmime that makes it Em goF bGad
It's not the tEmhought of what you EmcouFld've hGad
It's not the Emway that her figure Em haFs chGanged
It's jGust that a sG/Foldier gets stCrange
You know she's a real good girl. She reminds you that every curl
that whips in the wind of the world, is watched by the eyes of God.
But lately your mane's gone white. You itch in your veins in the night.
Before you "came home alright" you wielded the lightning rod.
It ain't the time that makes it go South
It ain't the liquor that burns in your mouth
Nearly nothing around here's changed
It's just that a soldier gets strange
She tCurns off the lights so you cEman't see her body
You cCan't make her fight when you Emknow that you're wrong
They cCall you a hero, so mEmany still fighting
TGhis ain't where G/Fyou belCong
GG/FC
Maybe you'll re-enlist. It couldn't be worse than this.
But think of the things you'll miss, if you're inside the wire again
It's not the dreams that keep you up late
It's not the world you saw incinerate
It's not the way that her figure has changed
It's just that a soldier gets strange
MGost of all G/Fyou got stCrange
