F Am
[Verse 1]
Am Dm Am
Take care, young ladies, and value your wine
Am Dm Am
Be watchful of young men in their velvet prime
C G C
Deeply they'll swallow from your finest kegs
Dm Am Em Am
Then swiftly be gone, leaving bitter dregs
F G Am
Ahhh-ah-ah-ah, bitter dregs
[Verse 2]
Am Dm Am
Your time hold precious, for youth is your gold
Am Dm Am
Your beauty, like silver, will tarnish when old
C G C
Memories and dreams shall comfort you not
Dm Am Em Am
When the flow of your sweetness is gone and forgot
F G Em Am
Ahhh-ah-ah-ah, gone and forgot
[Verse 3]
Am Dm Am
With smiling words and tender touch
Am Dm Am
Man offers little and asks for so much
C G C
He loves in the breathless excitement of night
Dm Am Em Am
Then leaves with your treasure in cold morning light
F G Em Am
Ahhh-ah-ah-ah, cold morning light
