	  Bb 
There's a fly in the window 
 
  Bb 
A dog in the yard 
 
      Ab		   Eb/Ab 
And a year since I saw you 
 
	  Bb 
There's a trunk in the corner 
 
  Bb 
I keep all my letters 
 
    Ab 
My bills and demands I keep too 
 
 
	Gm	       Bb/F 
Well I can't help thinking 
 
 Eb 
About the times 
 
D7		   Gm 
You were a wife of mine 
 
	     Bb 
You aimed to please me 
 
		  Eb 
Cooked black-eyed peas-me 
 
		    Bb  Eb/Bb Bb  Eb/Bb  Bb 
Made elderberry wine 
 
 
F 
Drunk all the time 
 
F		     Eb/Bb     Bb  Eb/Bb Bb  Eb/Bb  Bb 
Feeling fine on elderberry wine 
 
F 
Those were the days 
 
F 
We'd lay in the haze 
 
   Eb/Bb          Bb    Eb/Bb Bb  Eb/Bb  Bb 
Forget depressive times 
 
F 
How can I ever get it together 
 
    Eb/Bb         Bb   Eb/Bb Bb  Eb/Bb  Bb 
Without a wife in line 
 
F 
To pick the crop and get me hot 
 
           Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb Bb  Eb/Bb  Bb  Eb/Bb  Bb  Eb/Bb  
On elderberry wine 
 
 
    	Bb 
Round a tree in the summer 
 
  Bb 
A fire in the fall 
 
     Eb 
Flat out when they couldn't stand 
 
    Bb 
The bottle went round 
 
       Bb 
Like a woman down south 
 
       Eb 
Passed on from hand to hand 
 
 
	Gm	       Bb/F 
Well I can't help thinking 
 
 Eb 
About the times 
 
D7		   Gm 
You were a wife of mine 
 
	     Bb 
You aimed to please me 
 
		  Eb 
Cooked black-eyed peas-me 
 
		    Bb  Eb/Bb Bb  Eb/Bb  Bb 
Made elderberry wine 
 
(Chorus 2x) 
 
Bb  Eb/Bb Bb  Eb/Bb  Bb
