Cherry Wine

[Verse 1] Am Dm Well, the bull is on the run and the bear has come. E Am The time is right for moving to Chicago. Am Dm Got a cousin out there who still recalls my mother E Am with a sofa bed in the basement of his brownstone Am Dm Now the arm of the law has long been broken E Am Still it's grubby little fingers grasp at me Am Dm I wear your silver locket as a token E Am Of the everlasting love I long to keep. Chorus F C C/G C I have seen the guilded palace F E Where you drink your cherry wine Am Am/G and filled the chalice of another Dm E Am Oh, soon it will be mine. [Verse 2] Am Dm I filched a wedding dress from my ex-lover E Am Fixed a job to pay off my tuxedo Am Dm two boys in a flatbed undercover E Am Only one will make it to Toledo Am Dm And I heard your new companion is a Chaplan E Am Well what do you think he'd charge to read the vows Am Dm I reap the famous grass of midwest farmland E Am Stumbling up the front steps to your house Chorus F C C/G C I have seen the guilded palace F E Where you drink your cherry wine Am Am/G and filled the chalice of another Dm E Am Oh, soon it will be mine. Solo Am Dm E Am Dm E Am [Verse 3] Am Dm I have another pull of my whiskey E Am say "I've come to take back what belongs to me." Am Dm He says "I think I understand you correctly, E Am I've got a house warming gift up my sleeve." Am Dm Now I've stared down a birdshot loaded rifle E Am I've given both my ears to bowie knives Am Dm but the .357 smokeless ain't no trifle E Am You can see clean through my chest to the other side. Chorus F C C/G C All my hatred all my malice F E Is flowing out like cherry wine Am Am/G aI will plague you here no longer Dm E Am You were never to be mine N.C. All my hatred all my malice N.C. Is flowing out like cherry wine N.C. I will plague you here no longer N.C. You were never to be mine Am Am/G I will plague you here no longer Dm E Am You were never to be mine
