The Cat Empire – The Wine Song chords
Chords:
[So this is actually the first time I have ever posted a tab online, but that's only because I never bother even using this site because it is always wrong. However this song is rather tricky to work out, so when I learnt it, I came here to see if I was correct on a certain chord, and to my horror found someone had posted up this song to completely unaccurate chords. This offended me, so I decided to just do this and hopefully save as many as I can from learning the other version. If your playing this on piano you should be able to work out the melodic lines as Ollie plays them, and if you play guitar, good luck.] INTRO (3/4 time) | Dm | F+/C# | F/C | G/B | Bb | Dm/A | A7 | Dm |Dm F+/C# F/C G/BSongs and melodies change and changeBbAnd swayDm/A E7/G# A7But they still stay the sameDm F+/C# G/C G/BThe songs that we sung when the dark days comeBb Dm/A A7 DmAre the songs that we sung when we chased them awayDm F+/C# F/C G/BIf I ever found a pot of goldBb Dm/A E7/G# A7I'd buy bottles untold of the nectar of the vinesDm F+/C# F/C G/BI'm going to die with a twinkle in my eyeBb Dm/A A7Dm'cause I sung songs spun stories loved laughed and drank wineGm Dm A7 DmTomorrow is another dayGm Dm A7 DmThe cats are out to play, to playGm Dm A7 DmThat old rusty spaceship wants to sailGm Dm A7 DmInto the milky way againDm Abdim A7 | /A /B/C# |On a river of red red wine[For this section, its really just the four chords written, but I included the bass notes as at the start when it is slow, those are very pronounced.
