[Intro]
Eb  Bb  Eb  Bb
Eb  Bb  Eb  Bb
[Verse 1]
Bb
There's a fly in the window, a dog in the yard
      Cm
And a year since I saw you
          Bb
There's a trunk in the corner I keep all my letters
   Cm
My bills and demands I keep too
[Pre-Chorus]
Cm        Gm                  Eb
Well, I can't help thinking about the times
D7                  Gm
You were a wife of mine
               Bb                           Eb
You aimed to please me, cooked black-eyed peas-me
      F         Bb
Made elderberry wine
[Chorus]
F                                   Eb         Bb
Drunk all the time, feeling fine on elderberry wine
F
Those were the days, we'd lay in the haze
   Eb             Bb
Forget depressive times
F                                 Eb             Bb
How can I ever get it together without a wife in line?
F                                       Eb    Bb   Eb  Bb  Eb
To pick the crop and get me hot on elderberry wine
[Verse 2]
Eb      Bb
Round a tree in the summer, a fire in the fall
      Cm
Flat out when they couldn't stand
    Bb
The bottle went round like a woman down south
       Cm
Passed on from hand to hand
[Pre-Chorus]
Cm        Gm                  Eb
Well, I can't help thinking about the times
D7                  Gm
You were a wife of mine
               Bb                           Eb
You aimed to please me, cooked black-eyed peas-me
      F         Bb
Made elderberry wine
[Chorus]
F                                   Eb         Bb
Drunk all the time, feeling fine on elderberry wine
F
Those were the days, we'd lay in the haze
   Eb             Bb
Forget depressive times
F                                 Eb             Bb
How can I ever get it together without a wife in line?
F                                       Eb    Bb   Eb  Bb  Eb
To pick the crop and get me hot on elderberry wine
F                                   Eb         Bb
Drunk all the time, feeling fine on elderberry wine
