Em                      F               G                   Am7

Mother liked her white wine and we'd have a glass or three 
                                       Am                G 
And we'd sit out on the screen porch, white winos mom and me 
C 
We'd talk about my childhood, recap my career, 
Em                 F               G                  Am 
When we got to my father that was when I'd switch to beer 
Em                      F                G                 C

                                 Am                    G 
Each empty bottle a dead soldier, the marriage was the war 
C 
When we blurred the edges, when we drank a lot 
Em               F         G                 Am

I always get nervous when the glow gets...

And when I'm down I'll have some whiskey, thats something I shouldn't do 
C 
Every now and then, I'll take a drop of red 
Em              F            G               Am
