[Verse 1]
GA breath of whiskey on my Dcotton shirtEm  
Turn on the fan, Ctake off your skirtG  
Lay here beside me on these Dsheets so stained
For a Clittle while, but it Gain't the same
[Chorus]
EmAnd she brings me water and it Calways tastes so goodG  
She brings me flowers Dfrom the woodsEm  
Stays here in this house with me when I Cknow she'd rather leaveG  
Stays with me Das I sleepG  
And she helps me nurse my Dlumberlung
But it's no Clonger fun
For Gher
C G C
[Verse 2]
GOnce I dreamed we'd took a roadtDrip, just Emme and her
Through the southern and midwest sCtates
GTurned north just south of ArDkansas and we heCaded up
Towards the vast Great GLakes
[Outro]
EmAnd I thought I'd sleep through Texas, but CI woke up in IllinoisG  
And the car in the lane next to me was Ddriven by a little boy
EmAnd he flashed a smile at me then he Cdrove straight off the roadG  
Smacked an overpass, I Dwatched his car explodeG  
And when she wakes me from my delDirium
I know I'm no Clonger fun
For Gher
[Solo]
C G D Em7
C G D C G
[Chorus]
EmAnd she brings me water and it Calways tastes so goodG  
She brings me flowers Dfrom the woodsEm  
Stays here in this house with me when I Cknow she'd rather leaveG  
Stays with me DconstantlyG  
And she helps me nurse my Dlumberlung
But it's no Clonger fun
For Gher...G  
God damn this Dlumberlung I know I'm no Clonger funG

Em7

[Verse 1]

G D Em

A breath of whiskey on my cotton shirt

C G

Turn on the fan, take off your skirt

Lay here beside me on these sheets so stained

C G

For a little while, but it ain't the same

[Chorus]

Em C G

And she brings me water and it always tastes so good

D Em

She brings me flowers from the woods

C G

Stays here in this house with me when I know she'd rather leave

D G

Stays with me as I sleep

And she helps me nurse my lumberlung

But it's no longer fun

For her

C G C

[Verse 2]

G D Em

Once I dreamed we'd took a roadtrip, just me and her

Through the southern and midwest states

G D C

Turned north just south of Arkansas and we headed up

Towards the vast Great Lakes

[Outro]

Em C G

And I thought I'd sleep through Texas, but I woke up in Illinois

And the car in the lane next to me was driven by a little boy

Em C G

And he flashed a smile at me then he drove straight off the road

D G

Smacked an overpass, I watched his car explode

And when she wakes me from my delirium

I know I'm no longer fun

For her

[Solo]

C G D Em7

C G D C G

[Chorus]

Em C G

And she brings me water and it always tastes so good

D Em

She brings me flowers from the woods

Stays with me constantly

And she helps me nurse my lumberlung

But it's no longer fun

G G

For her...

God damn this lumberlung I know I'm no longer fun
