Chord Gitar dan Lirik Lagu Palmetto Rose Oleh Jason Isbell

Thought he had the red lights memorized
Glass in the gravel like the stars in the sky
In that slow motion minute between living and dead
Looked in my eyes and he told me, he said

This war that I wage to get up every day
It’s a fiberglass boat, it’s azaleas in May
It’s the women I love and the law that I hate
Lord let me die in the Iodine State
Lord let me die in the Iodine State

(During the last part of the chorus, mimic the vocal melody with something like this:

Palmetto rose in the sidewalk mud
Pearly white stem and a big green bud
Catch him coming out of a King Street store
Bullsht story about the Civil War

You can believe what you want to believe
But there ain’t no making up a basket weave
Everybody in the tri-county knows
Who makes the best palmetto rose

This war that I wage to get up every day
It’s a fiberglass boat, it’s azaleas in May
It’s the women I love and the law that I hate
Lord let me die in the Iodine State
Lord let me die in the Iodine State

Violin: F#m E D A

Out on Sullivan’s Island, they’re swimming
On the beach where the big boats rolled in
With the earliest slaves, women and children
Our first American kin

Here on King Street we’re selling our roses
Two for a five dollar bill
And tonight after everything closes
I’ll follow my own free will

And I’ve taken my fill
I’ve taken my fill
