|D       Dsus4 |Em7              Em7add9  
 Old red wine,     well past its prime

|Am                            |G            Cadd9    
    May have to finish it after crossing the line

|D         Dsus4 |Em7               Em7add9
 Dusty old wine,     two thousand a time,

|Am                              |G      Cadd9    |C      F    |
      An inch of black mud always left behind 


|Eb              Bb                 |F         Bb
    They say you turned it while the sun still shined

    |Eb            Bb          |F       Gm  
That gorgeous girl with you was highly primed

|Eb               Bb               |F        Bb
   She said she'd take you way down or way up

         |Eb         Bb              |F        |Gm G     |Asus4   A     |
She might break your heart, she might crack you up


Old red wine, not worth a dime,
Gonna have to drink it with yer some other time
Expensive old wine, forty years lyin',
Mice chewed the labels, don't know what we're buying

Back home in California they got wine for the meek
There's a Bowl and a Fillmore, the Cow and the Greek
You sniffed at the cork, chose low on the list
Had your back to the lights and gazed through the mist

Old red wine, well past its prime,
Gonna have to drink it with you some other time
