Cherry Wine Chords
Capo on 1
[Intro] F Am C F Am C F Dm C
[Verse 1]
C C
Her eyes and words are so icy
Am
Oh but she burns
F C
Like rum on the fire
C C
Hot and fast and angry
C
As she can be
Am F C
I walk my days on a wire.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
F Am F Am
It looks ugly, but it's clean,
F Am Dm C
Oh momma, don't fuss over me.
[Chorus]
F Am C
The way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
F Am C
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
F Dm C
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.
[Verse 2]
C C
Calls of guilty fall on me
C Am
All while she stains
F C
The sheets of some other
C C
Thrown at me so powerfully
C Am F C
Just like she throws with the arm of her brother.
[Pre-chorus 2]
F Am F Am
But I want it, it's a crime
F Am Dm C
That she's not around most of the time.
[Chorus]
F Am C
The way she shows me I'm hers and she is mine
F Am C
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
F Dm C
Blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
C C
Her fight and fury is fiery
C Am
Oh but she loves
F C
Like sleep to the freezing
C C
Sweet and right and merciful
C Am
I'm all but washed
F C
In the tide of her breathing.
[Pre-chorus 3]
F Am F Am
And it's worth it, it's divine
F Am Dm C
And I have this some of the time.
[Chorus]
F Am C
The way she shows me I'm hers and she is mine
F Am C
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
F Dm C
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.
