Gordon Lightfoot - Blackberry Wine
CAPO: 4th Fret
[INTRO:] Em D C D G
[VERSE 1:]
There's a south wind rising and the moon shines on my windowsill
I've got a feeling I might walk on over the hill
D
I'm bent but not broken, all I need is some rest
F C G D G
And a bottle of your very best, Blackberry wine
[VERSE 2:]
There's a new moon rising and the wind sings its old song
Pass it on over it's a sin to be sober too long
D
I'm bent but not broken, all I need is my share
F C G D G
Of a bottle of that very rare, Blackberry wine
[CHORUS:]
Em
Blackberry wine
G Cmaj7 D
You know that I'm no good without you
N.C. G
Blackberry wine
[VERSE 3:]
My old gal's got a new dress on, five and dime
Try as she will she can't get me to come home on time
D
But I'd never cheat her or mistreat her you know
F C G D G
As over the mountain I go, Blackberry wine
D
I'll be soft spoken, all I need is my rest
F C G D G
And a bottle of your very best, Blackberry wine
[VERSE 4:]
Now my days are numbered and one more heel's been killed
Blackberry John left me his old recipe in his will
D
I'm bent but not broken, all I need is some time
F C G D G
And a bottle of your very fine, Blackberry wine
[CHORUS:
Em
Blackberry wine
G Cmaj7 D
You know that I'm quite dry without you
G
Blackberry wine
