written by Wade/Dixon/Moore/Moore

from the album "All Likkered Up"

10/16/05

I think it's played in a different tuning, but these chords work fine.

INTRO: G

G D

I's standin' in the mornin' outside that Norfolk Southern Yard

G

Rollin' dice like a train, the wind was blowin' hard

D

I'm down 20 to the devil, hell I hope he'll take a check

G

I'll kiss his ass 'til I get level, then I'll break his neck

C G

I have drank from the cup of your soul like there ain't no tomorrow

D G

I was cursed from the first with a thirst for the sweet wine of sorrow

G D

Ah there's things a man can do to himself where his own parents don't recognize his face

G

And there's things he does to everybody else that even true love can't erase

D

And you wind up scattered all in pieces and you spend your life tryin' to understand

G

When you figure it out you realize it's your selfishness between you and the promised land

CHORUS:

C G

I have drank from the cup of your soul like there ain't no tomorrow

D G

I been cursed from the first with a thirst for that sweet wine of sorrow

C G

Hallelujah I'd trade anything I can beg steal or borrow

D G

I was cursed from the first with a thirst for that sweet wine of sorrow

BREAK: C Csus2 G D Dsus2 G

G D

Now I'm shattered on the sidewalk like them dishes that they brought

G

When you were swollen with my baby and your daddy bought that shotgun when we got caught

D

And now there ain't much that matters and to tell the truth I still don't understand

G

So I think I'll go down to Madame Moreass and just pretend you ever gave a damn

CHORUS

D C G

Baby I's cursed from the first with a thirst for that sweet wine of sorrow
