Driver 8 chords by Jason Isbell


Jason Isbell Chords

[Intro]
Em  Am  G  D/F#
Em  Am  G  D/F#
[see Riff 1 below]
 
[verse]
Em              Am        G        D/F#
  The walls are built up, stone by stone,
    Em         Am             G    D/F#
The fields are divided one by one.
        Em              Am
And the train conductor says,
        G            D/F#
"Take a break Driver 8,
       Em        Am
Driver 8, take a break
           G                 D/F#
We've been on this shift too long."
 
[Chorus]
D        C               D
 And the train conductor says,
        C             D
"Take a break Driver 8,
       C        D
Driver 8 take a break,
       C              Em
We can reach our destination,
[see Riff 2 below]
                        Em
but we're still a ways away,
                       Em
but it’s still a ways away."
 
[Verse]
Em        Am               G
  I saw a treehouse on the outskirts
           D/F#
of the farm.
    Em               Am
The power lines have floaters so the
G                   D/F#
airplanes won't get snagged.
    Em                Am
The bells are ringing through
          G    D/F#
the town again.
    Em                    Am
The children look up, and all they hear
   G         D/F#
is sky-blue, bells ringing.
 
[Chorus]
D        C               D
 And the train conductor says,
        C            D
"Take a break Driver 8,
       C        D
Driver 8 take a break,
       C              Em
We can reach our destination,
[see Riff 2 below]
                        Em
but we're still a ways away.
                       Em
but it’s still a ways away.
                       Em
but we're still a ways away.
                       Am
but it’s still a ways away."
 
[Bridge]
Am                          C
  A way to shield the hated heat.
G                        D
  A way to put myself to sleep.
Am                          C
  A way to shield the hated heat.
G
  A way to put myself, and my
D
children to sleep.
 
[Break]
Em  Am  G  D
Em  Am  G  D
[see Riff 1 below]
 
   Em               Am
He piloted this song,
     G          D/F#
in a plane like that one.
Em             Am
She is selling faith on the
G          D/F#
Go Tell crusade.
Em         Am          G
Locomotive 8, Southern Crescent,
         D/F#
hear the bells ring again.
Em              Am               G    D/F#
   The field of wheat is lookin' thin
 
[Chorus]
D        C               D
 And the train conductor says,
        C            D
"Take a break Driver 8,
       C        D
Driver 8 take a break,
           C                 D
We've been on this shift too long."
        C               D
And the train conductor says,
        C            D
"Take a break Driver 8,
       C        D
Driver 8 take a break
       C              Em
We can reach our destination,
[see Riff 2 below]
                        Em
but we're still a ways away,
                       Em
but it’s still a ways away,
                        Em
but we're still a ways away,
                       Em
but it’s still a ways away."
