Merle Haggard - Life Of Wine And Roses guitar chord

(C) Once I lived a life of (F) wine and (C)Roses.

I (G7) drank a lot back then for one (C) concern.

Success for me lay (F) just around the corner. I

thought my (G7) social friends would help me make

the (C) turn.

CHORUS: (C) Now I'm paying for the (F) days of

wine and (C) and roses. A (G7) victim of the

drunken life I (C) chose. Now all my social

(F) friends look down their (C) noses. Cause I

(G7) kept the wine and through away the (C) rose.

Interlude: (C, F, C, G7, C)

(C) I stood by and watched the (F) bottle take

(C) control of me. The (G7) turn I made was not

the one I (C) planned. And I watched my social

(F) standing slip (C) away from me. While I

(G7) watched the bottle slowly take (C) command.

(repeat chorus)
