Tom: Gm
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Cm Gm Eb
Well, I can't help thinking about the times
D7 Gm
You were a wife of mine
Bb Eb
You aimed to please me, cooked black-eyed peas-me
F Bb
Made elderberry wine
[Chorus]
F Eb Bb
Drunk all the time, feeling fine on elderberry wine
F
Those were the days, we'd lay in the haze
Eb Bb
Forget depressive times
F Eb Bb
How can I ever get it together without a wife in line?
F Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb
To pick the crop and get me hot on elderberry wine
[Verse 2]
Eb Bb
Round a tree in the summer, a fire in the fall
Cm
Flat out when they couldn't stand
Bb
The bottle went round like a woman down south
Cm
Passed on from hand to hand
[Pre-Chorus]
Cm Gm Eb
Well, I can't help thinking about the times
D7 Gm
You were a wife of mine
Bb Eb
You aimed to please me, cooked black-eyed peas-me
F Bb
Made elderberry wine
[Chorus]
F Eb Bb
Drunk all the time, feeling fine on elderberry wine
F
Those were the days, we'd lay in the haze
Eb Bb
Forget depressive times
F Eb Bb
How can I ever get it together without a wife in line?
F Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb
To pick the crop and get me hot on elderberry wine
F Eb Bb
Drunk all the time, feeling fine on elderberry wine
F
Those were the days, we'd lay in the haze
Eb Bb
Forget depressive times
F Eb Bb
How can I ever get it together without a wife in line?
F Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb
To pick the crop and get me hot on elderberry wine
[Outro]
Bb
Elderberry wine
