[Intro]
A D
[Verse 1]
D
She unscrews the top of a new whiskey bottle
(D) A
And shuffles about in her candle lit hovel,
(A)
Like some kind of witch with blue fingers in mittens
(A) D
She smells like the cat and the neighbours she sickens,
D
The black and white t.v. has long seen a picture
D7 Em7
The cross on the wall is a permanent fixture,
A
The postman delivers the final reminders
(A) G F#m Em D
She sells off her silver and poodles in china.
[Refrain]
(D) Em7
Drinks to remember, I me and myself
A D
And winds up the clock and knocks dust from the shelf
(D) Em7
Home is a love that I miss very much
A G F#m Em D
So the past has been bottled and labelled with love.
[Verse 2]
D
During the war time an american pilot
(D) A
Made every air raid a time of excitement,
(A)
She moved to his prairie and married the texan
(A) D
She learnt from a distance how love was a lesson,
(D)
He became drinker and she became mother
D7 Em7
She knew that one day she'd be one or the other,
A
He ate himself older, drunk himself dizzy
A G F#m Em D
Proud of her features, she kept herself pretty.
[Verse 3]
D
He like a cowboy died drunk in a slumber
(D) A
Out on the porch in the middle of summer,
(A)
She crossed the ocean back home to her family
(A) D
But they had retired to roads that were sandy,
(D)
She moved home alone without friends or relations
D7 Em7
Lived in a world full of age reservation,
A
On moth eaten armchairs she'd say that she's sod all
(A) G F#m Em D
The friends who had left her to drink from the bottle.
[Chorus] (x2)
A G F#m Em D
The past has been bottled and labelled with love
A G F#m Em D
The past h________as been bottled..... and labelled with love
D (Fade out)
(I think it might play the chorus chords while fading. I end on D)
