When I was a young man and never been kissed
EmABm
I got to thinking it over what I had missed
AGA
I got me a girl, I kissed her and then
F#mBm
Oh Lord, I kissed her again
BmABmF#mBsus4B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
BmF#mBmF#mBsus4B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
BmAGF#m
I asked her to marry and be my sweet wife
EmABm
And we would be so happy the rest of our lives
AGA
I begged and I pleaded like a natural man
F#mBm
And then, Oh Lord, she gave me her hand
BmABmF#mBsus4B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
BmF#mBmF#mBsus4B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
BmAGF#m
I worked mighty hard and so did my wife
EmABm
Workin' hand in hand to make a good life
AGA
With corn in the field and wheat in the bins
F#mBm
I was, Oh Lord, the father of twins
BmABmF#mBsus4B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
BmF#mBmF#mBsus4B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
BmAGF#m
Our children they numbered just about four
EmABm
They all had sweethearts knockin' at the door
AGA
They all got married and they didn't hesitate;
F#mBm
I was, Oh Lord, the grandmother of eight
BmABmF#mBsus4B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
BmF#mBmF#mBsus4B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
BmAGF#m
Now that we're old, and ready to go
EmABm
We get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago
AGA
We had a lot of kids, trouble and pain
F#mBm
But, Oh Lord, We'd do it again
BmABmF#mBsus4B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
BmF#mBmF#mBsus4B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
