  			C                               F 
They say my tears come from the bottle 

     G7                       C 
That stands beside me all the time 

C                             F 
But I wonder if they know the sorrow 

     G7                   C 
That always overtakes the wine 


  F                       C 
I drink to find forgetful valleys 

C                              G7 
Where I can leave old memories behind 

    C                    F 
But always just before I reach them 

G7                   C 
Sorrow overtakes the wine 


C                                F 
These tears can find me when I'm sober 

        G7                   C 
They're quick to show up any time 

C                              F 
And I always try to drink them under 

    G7                   C 
But sorrow overtakes the wine 


  F                       C 
I drink to find forgetful valleys 

C                              G7 
Where I can leave old memories behind 

    C                    F 
But always just before I reach them 

G7                   C 
Sorrow overtakes the wine
