BB                             D MajorD
Look beyond the broken bottles
A augmentedA                             BB
Past the rotting wooden stairs
                                     D MajorD
Root out the wine-dark honeyed center
A augmentedA                     E MajorE
Not everyone can live like millionaires

Tear up the floorboards strip the paint
                           D MajorD
Go over every inch of space
A augmentedA                           E MajorE
With the patience of a saint

The cellar door is an open throat

And the cellar door is an open throat
