Crimson And Clay
Jason Isbell
Key : B
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
E   | G#m | E   | G#m | E | G#m | F#sus2 | E 
G#m | E   | G#m 
E   | G#m 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
F#sus2 E         E      G#m              E    G#m
       I had it with me  everywhere I've been
    E             G#m         F#sus2     E
Red clay under my nails, deep crimson on my skin
                  G#m              E   G#m
You could strip me  of everything I own
         E                 G#m            F#sus2  E
And just leave me with the memories of my Alabama home

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
            F#         E                    B
I guess the highway didn't kill me after all
      F#              E                  B
But I thought I was a goner in that trailer fire in Arkansas
     F#           E                    B
But I just let her burn and walked away
           F#      E
And crawled back to the crimson and the clay

[Pre-Verse (1)]
---------------------
E | G#m 
E G#m E G#m F# E                   E      G#m                  E  G#m
             I got a little bolt action  for my nineth birthday

[Verse 2]
---------------------
          E         G#m                   F#         E
And I can flip a silver dollar from a hundred yards away
               G#m             E   G#m
Nineteen eleven  under my floor mat
         E             G#m             F#sus2     E
Then one day it just occurred to me, I got  no use for that

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
          F#          E                B
Guess the city didn't kill me after all
         F#        E                      B
The thing that nearly took me out was loneliness and alcohol
     F#          E                    B
And I just put it down and walked away
           F#       E                       E G#m
And crawled back to the crimson and the clay

[Pre-Verse (2)]
---------------------
E | G#m | E | G#m | F# | E 

[Verse 3]
---------------------
E            G#m          B/A#  B                    F#
 See the moon  in the morning, I anticipate the night
E                G#m              B/A# B                F#
 Licked the spoon  in the kitchen,      we prayed to Martha White
E            G#m           B/A# B                             F#
 Little noose  in a locker,      brown eyes crying in the hall
E           G#m              B/A# B                 F#
 Rebel flags  on the highway,      wooden crosses on the wall

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
          F#         E                       B
Guess the small town didn't suit me after all
             F#      E                    B
There's still so many lonely kids surrounded by the rest of y'all
     F#          E                  B
And I can't seem to keep myself away
     F#           E
So I head back to the crimson and the clay

[Outro]
---------------------
E   | G#m | E   | G#m | E   | G#m    | F#sus2 | E 
G#m | E   | G#m | E   | G#m | F#sus2 | E
