Intro:

  A augmentedA         D MajorD

   D MajorD
She unscrews the top of a new whiskey bottle
  (D MajorD)                A augmentedA
And shuffles about in her candle lit hovel,
   (A augmentedA)
Like some kind of witch with blue fingers in mittens
   (A augmentedA)                    D MajorD
She smells like the cat and the neighbours she sickens,
  D MajorD
The black and white t.v. has long seen a picture
  D7D7           E minor 7Em7
The cross on the wall is a permanent fixture,
   A augmentedA
The postman delivers the final reminders
   (A augmentedA)           G+G F# minorF#m E minorEm D MajorD
She sells off her silver and poodles in china.

Chorus:
 (D MajorD)         E minor 7Em7
Drinks to remember, I me and myself
   A augmentedA                      D MajorD
And winds up the clock and knocks dust from the shelf
 (D MajorD)          E minor 7Em7
Home is a love that I miss very much
    A augmentedA             G+G F# minorF#m  E minorEm  D MajorD
So the past has been bottled and labelled with love.

D MajorD
During the war time an american pilot
(D MajorD)                A augmentedA
Made every air raid a time of excitement,
  (A augmentedA)
She moved to his prairie and married the texan
  (A augmentedA)                  D MajorD
She learnt from a distance how love was a lesson,
(D MajorD)
He became drinker and she became mother
  D7D7             E minor 7Em7
She knew that one day she'd be one or the other,
  A augmentedA
He ate himself older, drunk himself dizzy
 A augmentedA             G+G  F# minorF#m E minorEm D MajorD
Proud of her features, she kept herself pretty.

(Chorus)

D MajorD
He like a cowboy died drunk in a slumber
(D MajorD)                A augmentedA
Out on the porch in the middle of summer,
(A augmentedA)
She crossed the ocean back home to her family
(A augmentedA)                   D MajorD
But they had retired to roads that were sandy,
  (D MajorD)
She moved home alone without friends or relations
D7D7            E minor 7Em7
Lived in a world full of age reservation,
  A augmentedA
On moth eaten armchairs she'd say that she's sod all
  (A augmentedA)             G+G   F# minorF#m E minorEm D MajorD
The friends who had left her to drink from the bottle.

Chorus x2

  A augmentedA             G+G F# minorF#m  E minorEm  D MajorD
The past has been bottled and labelled with love
  A augmentedA                   G+G F# minorF#m  E minorEm  D MajorD
The past h________as been bottled..... and labelled with love

D MajorD (Fade out)
