Tupelo — Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit
Chords and lyrics for Tupelo by Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit (key of G).
Verse 1
Just heard this on NPR's preview of Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit's upcoming
album The Nashville Sound,
and I liked it so much I wanted to get it down on paper.
use A, D, E, Bm, F#m if you like
that sound better.
I'm hearing something in the 3rd line of the chorus that sounds like a
chord change, but I'm not sure.
This Dadd4add9 sounds close, but I'm open to other suggestion or even no
change there. It's just like a
C chord, but shift it 2 frets.
