Fermented Evenings

G
On fermented evenings
         G7             C
I get knee deep in the wine
                     D
Your memory is like a cork
          G             D
It keeps me in it all the time
G
What used to be enchanted?
        G7              C
Is now drunk and tired and mean
                        D
And these fermented evenings
                   G       C   G
Are all that's left of you and me

Chorus
G7                      C
Sweet fruit that was our love
                          G
Has been replaced with alcohol
                        C
Now I have fermented evenings
D
Every evening because
G
They say the sweetest grapes will make
           G7                           C
The strongest wine I know that's true
                                D
The sweetest love makes the weakest fools
           G    C   G
Look at me I'm living proof

2nd verse
G
On these fermented evenings
        G7                 C
When the night comes pressing down
                           D
That's when the wine comes out
                G        D
By the gallon and I drown
                        G
The wines a nice burgundy
        G7                      C
My tears a Chardonnay
                D
Your memory lets them both out
                G               C   G
Wish I could throw this cork away

Chorus
G7                      C
Sweet fruit that was our love
                          G
Has been replaced with alcohol
                        C
Now I have fermented evenings
D
Every evening because
G
What used to be enchanted?
        G7                              C
Is now drunk and tired and mean
                        D
And these fermented evenings
                   G       C   G
Are all that's left of you and me


                        D
And these fermented evenings
                   G       C   G
Are all that's left of you and me
