Bb
There’s a fly in the window
А dog in the yard
Ab Eb/Ab
And a year since I saw you
Bb
There’s a trunk in the corner
I keep all my letters
Ab
My bills and demands I keep too
Gm Gm7
Well I can’t help thinking
Eb
About the times
D7 Gm
You were a wife of mine
Bb
You aimed to please me
Eb
Cooked black-eyed peas-me
Bb Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb
Made elderberry wine
F
Drunk all the time
F Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb
Feeling fine on elderberry wine
F
Those were the days
F
We’d lay in the haze
Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb
Forget depressive times
F
How can I ever get it together
Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb
Without a wife in line
F
To pick the crop and get me hot
Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb
On elderberry wine
Round a tree in the summer
А fire in the fall
Flat out when they couldn’t stand
The bottle went round
Passed on from hand to hand
Well I can’t help thinking
About the times
You were a wife of mine
You aimed to please me
Cooked black-eyed peas-me
Made elderberry wine
Chorus: x2
Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb
Elderberry wine
Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb
Elderberry wine
Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb
Elderberry wine
