  Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
                            G C
  When you gonna let me get sober
  C(/G)
  Leave me alone, let me go home
                          G C
  Let me go back to start over

C(/G)    G C  w/ mélodie

C         G          F         C       
Ramblin' around this dirty old town
C           G           C
Singin' for nickels and dimes
C             G        F          C
Times gettin' tough, I ain't got enough
   C            G         C                      g f♯ f 
To buy a little bottle of wine                   g a  b

  Refrain

C(/G)    G C  w/ mélodie

Little hotel, older than hell
Dark as the coal in the mine
Blanket's so thin, I lay down and grin
Cause I got a little bottle of wine

  Refrain

C  G C  w/ mélodie

Pain in my head, bugs in my bed
Pants are so old that they shine 
Out on the street tellin' people I meet
Won't you buy me a bottle of wine

  Refrain

C(/G)    G C  x 2  w/ mélodie

Well a preacher will preach, a teacher will teach
A miner will dig in the mines
I ride the rods, trustin' in God
Huggin' my bottle of wine

  Refrain

C(/G)    G C  w/ mélodie
