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.
It's likely he's playing open instead of a capo, so you can transpose +2 to 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 Dadd9add11 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.

[Verse 1]
G C
Haven't been wasted in a long time
G C
But tonight it feels just fine
Am
Riding home with windows up
Em D
alone with a plastic cup of real good wine
[Chorus]
G C
When I get out of this hole I'm going to Tupelo
G D
There is a girl out there that will treat me fair
G C
Get about a week of spring and the summer is blistering
Am Dsus2 Em
There ain't no one from here that will follow me there
Am D G
No there ain't no one from here that will follow me there
C G C
[Verse 2]
G C
She said there's nothin' left to talk about
G C
At my age I should have figured out
Am
Which drawer to put the good knives in
Em D
and the wars between weekends tore our playhouse down
[Verse 3]
G C
Kept her close but way too close to me
G C
She never lived up to my memory
Am
Driving fast with the windows down
Em D
A past I don't belong to now, a mystery
[Chorus]
G C
When I get out of this hole I'm going to Tupelo
G D
There is a girl out there that will treat me fair
G C
Get about a week of spring and the summer is blistering
Am Dsus2 Em
There ain't no one from here that will follow me there
Am D G
No there ain't no one from here that will follow me there
Bm G
Bm C C
[Chorus]
G G/B C
When I get out of this hole I'm going to Tupelo
G D
There is a girl out there that will treat me fair
G C
Get about a week of spring and the summer is blistering
Am Dsus2 Em
There ain't no one from here that will follow me there
Am D G
No there ain't no one from here that will follow me there
