Intro:
    A                 D

     D
She unscrews the top of a new whiskey bottle
    (D)                               A
And shuffles about in her candle lit hovel,
     (A)
Like some kind of witch with blue fingers in mittens
     (A)                                        D
She smells like the cat and the neighbours she sickens,
    D
The black and white t.v. has long seen a picture
    D7                      Em7
The cross on the wall is a permanent fixture,
     A
The postman delivers the final reminders
     (A)                     G  F#m  Em D
She sells off her silver and poodles in china.

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

D
During the war time an american pilot
(D)                               A
Made every air raid a time of excitement,
    (A)
She moved to his prairie and married the texan
    (A)                                    D
She learnt from a distance how love was a lesson,
(D)
He became drinker and she became mother
    D7                         Em7
She knew that one day she'd be one or the other,
   A
He ate himself older, drunk himself dizzy
 A                         G   F#m  Em  D
Proud of her features, she kept herself pretty.

(Chorus)

D
He like a cowboy died drunk in a slumber
(D)                                A
Out on the porch in the middle of summer,
(A)
She crossed the ocean back home to her family
(A)                                      D
But they had retired to roads that were sandy,
    (D)
She moved home alone without friends or relations
D7                       Em7
Lived in a world full of age reservation,
   A
On moth eaten armchairs she'd say that she's sod all
    (A)                         G     F#m  Em  D
The friends who had left her to drink from the bottle.

Chorus x2

    A                         G  F#m   Em   D
The past has been bottled and labelled with love
    A                                      G  F#m   Em   D
The past h________as been bottled..... and labelled with love

D (Fade out)
