D       (G - C)  Am 
  Red red wine, 
           G      C 
  Go to my head, 
              G           C 
  Make me for-get that I 
                 G      
  Still need her so, 
 D       (G - C)  Am              
  Red red wine, 
             G     C  
  It's up to you, 
            G        C 
  All I can do I've done, 
                     G 
  But memories won't go, 
C                    G    
  No, memories won't go.. 

  D      
  I'd have sworn, 
            G 
  That with time, 
              C                  G 
  Thoughts of you would leave my head, 
        D           G 
  I was wrong and I find, 
           (C -  Em7 - Am7 -C)    D 
  Just one thing makes  me    for-get... 

          (G-C)  Am 
  Red red wine, 
                G   C 
  Stay close to me, 
               G          C 
  Don't let me be alone, 
                 G       C  
  It's tearing a-part 
                G 
  My blue, blue heart. 

D      
  I'd have sworn, 
            G 
  That with time, 
              C                  G 
  Thoughts of you would leave my head, 
        D           G 
  I was wrong and I find, 
           (C -  Em7 - Am7 -C)    D 
  Just one thing makes  me    for-get... 

          (G-C)  Am 
  Red red wine, 
                G   C 
  Stay close to me, 
               G          C 
  Don't let me be alone, 
                 G       C  
  It's tearing a-part 
                (G - C) Am    C G Am7 G 
  My Blue Blue  heart
