Bottle Of Wine

A          E7 A  X2

[Verse 1]
A        E          D         A
Hanging around this dirty old town
 A            E7          A
A'picking for nickels and dimes
A        E              D         A
Asking a friend just to lend me a hand
   A            E         A
To get a little bottle of wine

[Chorus]
A
Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
A                         E7  A
When you gonna let me get so-ber
A
Leave me alone, and let me go home
A                        E7  A
Let me go back and start o - ver

[Instrumental]
A      E        D        A
A            E7          A
A     E         D        A
A            E7          A
A                     E7  A
A                     E7  A
[Verse 2]
A        E          D         A
A little hotel, cold as a well
    A           E7          A
And dark as the coal in the mine
    A           E           D             A
The blankets so thin,that I lay there and grin
A          E         A
Hugging my bottle of wine

[Chorus]
A
Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
A                         E7  A
When you gonna let me get so-ber
A
Leave me alone, and let me go home
A                        E7  A
Let me go back and start o - ver

[Instrumental]
A      E        D        A
A            E7          A
A      E        D         A
A            E7          A
A                     E7  A
A                     E7  A

[Verse 3]
  A             E            D            A
A preacher will preach and a teacher will teach,
  A          E7         A
A miner will dig in the mine
A          E     D           A
I ride the rods, trusting in God
    A          E         A
And hugging my bottle of wine

[Chorus]
A
Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
A                         E7  A
When you gonna let me get so-ber
A
Leave me alone, and let me go home
A                        E7  A
Let me go back and start o - ver
