Jerry Jeff Walker - Backsliders Wine guitar chord

Backslider's Wine

By Jerry Jeff Walker

D G

As the rain ruins my alibi

C G

I'm down to tellin' you my red-eyed mind

C

It's not the sun bright path

G

That called me from my home

F C G

It's just that fine Backslider's wine

Chorus:

D G

My momma sings out in my memory

C G

Oh Son, don't wear no black eyed shine

C G

Fight for your rights but don’t just fight for right

F C G

And do not drink Backslider's wine

D G

But I took myself for a strong and loving soul

C G

'Til I found myself face down on the bar room floor

C G

Crying “My God, what has become of me

F C G

I dare not drink Backslider's wine no more
