Bottle Of Wine
Tom Paxton

CHORUS
C                                                            G  C
Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine, When you gonna let me get sober?
C                                                        G  C
Leave me along, let me go home. Let me go back and start over.

         G           F         C                 G           C  
Ramblin' around this dirty old town, Singin' for nickels and dimes.
              G             F         C                      G         C
Times getting tough cause I ain't got enough to buy a little bottle of wine.

REPEAT CHORUS

       G      F          C                 G           C  
Little hotel, older than Hell, Dark as the coal in the mine
           G           F             C                          G        C
Blanket so thin, but I lay there and grin 'cause I got a little bottle of wine

REPEAT CHORUS

                  G     F          C                    G             C  
It's a pain in my head, bugs in my bed. My pants are so old that they shine
           G                 F        C                G         C
Out on the street I tell the people I meet to buy me a bottle of wine

REPEAT CHORUS

                G             F            C                      G          C   
A preacher will preach, and a teacher will teach and a miner will dig in the mine
           G     F           C                      G         C
I ride the rods, trusting in God, and huggin' on my bottle of wine

REPEAT CHORUS AND END
