Elderberry Wine

Eb /F /G /A  Bb x4

         Bb
There's a fly in the window

A dog in the yard
      Cm
And a year since I saw you
          Bb
There's a trunk in the corner

I keep all my letters
     Cm
My bills and demands I keep too

       Gm             Gm7
Well I can't help thinking
 Eb
About the times
D7                Gm
You were a wife of mine
             Bb
You aimed to please me
                  Eb
Cooked black-eyed peas-me
     F    Eb    Bb   Eb/Bb Bb  Eb/Bb  Bb
Made elderberry wine

F
Drunk all the time
F                   Eb/Bb  Bb  Eb/Bb Bb  Eb/Bb  Bb
Feeling fine on elderberry wine
F
Those were the days
F
We'd lay in the haze
   Eb/Bb          Bb    Eb/Bb Bb  Eb/Bb  Bb
Forget depressive times
F
How can I ever get it together
    Eb/Bb         Bb   Eb/Bb Bb  Eb/Bb  Bb
Without a wife in line
F
To pick the crop and get me hot
        Eb/Bb  Bb    Eb/Bb Bb  Eb/Bb  Bb  Eb/Bb  Bb  Eb/Bb
On elderberry wine

Round a tree in the summer
A fire in the fall
Flat out when they couldn't stand
The bottle went round
Like a woman down south
Passed on from hand to hand

Well I can't help thinking
About the times
You were a wife of mine
You aimed to please me
Cooked black-eyed peas-me
Made elderberry wine
