Jason Isbell - Songs That She Sang in the Shower
(I was not a music major and have probably mislabeled some of the chords.
I chose
the labels for ease. Also I'm not sure that he tunes the high “e” string
down to
“d” but I like the way it sounds acoustically so that’s what I did.)
(6/12/16 - The video I used is here:
On the Dsus he actually uses his pinky to play it 054050. The last two
notes are both E, so he doesn't
tune down the e string. Mostly that means you don't strum the last e
string in several chords.
I think it's easier this way, and I like the way it sounds as I have
written it - but that's not
"gospel"! Play it however you want and enjoy playing it. I only hope this
helps get you started so
you can add your variations as you like!)

Verse
On a [Dsus]lark. On a [Dsus]whim.
I said there’s [Am7]two kinds of men in this [Em7]world and you’re neither of [Dsus]them
And his [Dsus]fist, cut the [Dsus]smoke
I had an [Am7]eighth of a second to [Em7]wonder if he got the [Dsus]joke
In the[Dsus] car, headed [Dsus]home
She asked if[Am7] I had considered the [Em7]prospect of living [Dsus]alone
With a [Dsus]steak, held to my[Dsus] eye
I had to [Am7]summon the confidence [Em7]needed to hear her [Dsus]goodbye
And [Am7]another brief chapter [Em7]without any answers blew[Dsus] by
Chorus
And the [D]songs that she sang in the [G]shower are stuck in my [D]head[G]
Like Bring Out The [D]Dead. [Asus] Breakfast In [D]Bed.
And [D]experience robs me of [G]hope that she’ll make it back [D]home[G]
So I’m stuck on my [D]own. [Asus] I’m stuck on my [D]own.
Verse
In a [Dsus]room, by [Dsus]myself
Looks like I’m [Am7]here with a guy that I [Em7]judge worse than anyone [Dsus]else
So I [Dsus]pace, and I [Dsus]pray
And I [Am7]repeat the mantras that [Em7]might keep me clean for the[Dsus] day
Chorus
And the [D]songs that she sang in the [G]shower all ring in my [D]ear[G]
Like Wish You Were [D]Here, [Asus] how I wish you were [D]here.
And [D]experience robs me of [G]hope that you’ll ever [D]return[G]
So I breathe and I [D]burn. [Asus] I breathe and I [D][D]burn.[A/C#]

Not thinking of [D]then. [Asus] Not thinking of [D]then.
Finale
