Cigarettes and Wine Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I s[A]aw [D]her[E] in[D] Roosevelt Spr[A]ings,
where time does[D]n't touch anything
She never [A]did say she could sing,
but I figured it [D]so
I needed some [A]company then,
not sisters or [D]children or men
That's a hell of a [A]spot to be in,
but she put me in [D]tow

[Verse 2]
Money and [A]liquor and lust had
taken [D]my heart and my trust
I could see [A]ashes and dust were
headed my [D]way
She tended [A]bar in the town,
her alto [D]settled me down
I started [A]hanging around,
didn't need much to say
[D]

[Verse 3]
She smelled like [G]ci garettes
and wine
And she kept me [D]happy all the time
I know that ain't [A]much of a line
But it's the Gods' own [D]truth
She lives down in[G]side of me still
Rolled up like a [D]twenty dollar bill
She left me [A]alone with these pills
In the last of my [D]youth

[Verse 4]
Wings on her [A]shoulders and feet,
a bar on Geth[D]semane Street
I took time [A]to plan my retreat,
and backed out the [D]door
I must be at[A]tracted to those who've
witnessed [D]a man in the throes
Of life that ain't [A]grindstone to nose,
but pedal to floor
[D]

[Verse 5]
She smelled like [G]ci garettes
and wine
And she kept me [D]happy all the time
I know that ain't [A]much of a line
But it's the Gods' own [D]truth
She lives down in[G]side of me still
Rolled up like a [D]twenty dollar bill
She left me [A]alone with these pills
[D]In [A]the last of my youth
[D]

[Verse 6]
Lost on [A]the dry side of town,
my memories [D]slowing me down
She shook me and I came [A]around, I
came back [D]to life
With nary a [A]mother or dad she showed
me what [D]I never had
The princess of [A]leaves, she gets sad,
cause I won't take a wife
[D]

[Verse 7]
She smelled like [G]ci garettes and wine
And she kept me [D]happy all the time
I know that ain't [A]much of a [D]line[A]
But it's the Gods' own [D]truth
She lives down in[G]side of me still
Rolled up like a [D]twenty dollar bill
She left me alone [A]with these pills
In my smoldering [D]youth
She left me alone [A]with these [D]pill[A]s
In the last of my [D]youth
