Sweet Wine Of Sorrow

G

[Verse]

    G                                                     D
I's standin' in the mornin' outside that Norfolk Southern Yard
                                                G
Rollin' dice like a train, the wind was blowin' hard
                                                   D
I'm down 20 to the devil, hell I hope he'll take a check
                                                        G
I'll kiss his ass 'til I get level, then I'll break his neck

[Chorus 1]

       C                                                    G
I have drank from the cup of your soul like there ain't no tomorrow
      D                                                         G
I was cursed from the first with a thirst for the sweet wine of sorrow

[Verse]

G                                                                       D
Ah there's things a man can do to himself where his own parents don't recognize his face
                                                                       G
And there's things he does to everybody else that even true love can't erase
                                                                D
And you wind up scattered all in pieces and you spend your life tryin' to understand
                                                                                      G
When you figure it out you realize it's your selfishness between you and the promised land

[Chorus 2]

       C                                                    G
I have drank from the cup of your soul like there ain't no tomorrow
       D                                                          G
I been cursed from the first with a thirst for that sweet wine of sorrow
C                                                G
Hallelujah I'd trade anything I can beg steal or borrow
      D                                                          G
I was cursed from the first with a thirst for that sweet wine of sorrow

[Verse]

        G                                                     D
Now I'm shattered on the sidewalk like them dishes that they brought
                                                                                   G
When you were swollen with my baby and your daddy bought that shotgun when we got caught
                                                              D
And now there ain't much that matters and to tell the truth I still don't understand
                                                                           G
So I think I'll go down to Madame Moreass and just pretend you ever gave a damn

[Outro]

         D                                                          C       G
Baby I's cursed from the first with a thirst for that sweet wine of sorrow
