Bm                A         G             F#m
When I was a young man and never been kissed
         Em           A    Bm
I got to thinking it over what I had missed
                A    G                 A
I got me a girl, I kissed her and then
F#m          Bm
Oh Lord, I kissed her again

Bm A   Bm         F#m     Bsus4 B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Bm F#m   Bm       F#m     Bsus4 B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

   Bm           A          G             F#m
I asked her to marry and be my sweet wife
             Em    A         Bm
And we would be so happy the rest of our lives
                 A             G          A
I begged and I pleaded like a natural man
         F#m             Bm
And then, Oh Lord, she gave me her hand

Bm A   Bm         F#m     Bsus4 B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Bm F#m   Bm       F#m     Bsus4 B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

  Bm            A        G         F#m
I worked mighty hard and so did my wife
       Em        A     Bm
Workin' hand in hand to make a good life
                  A        G            A
With corn in the field and wheat in the bins
        F#m          Bm
I was, Oh Lord, the father of twins

Bm A   Bm         F#m     Bsus4 B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Bm F#m   Bm       F#m     Bsus4 B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

    Bm            A        G          F#m
Our children they numbered just about four
      Em      A          Bm
They all had sweethearts knockin' at the door
             A                G              A
They all got married and they didn't hesitate;
      F#m                Bm
I was, Oh Lord, the grandmother of eight

Bm A   Bm         F#m     Bsus4 B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Bm F#m   Bm       F#m     Bsus4 B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

 Bm            A        G        F#m
Now that we're old, and ready to go
          Em            A          Bm
We get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago
                A     G           A
We had a lot of kids, trouble and pain
    F#m            Bm
But, Oh Lord, We'd do it again

Bm A   Bm         F#m     Bsus4 B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Bm F#m   Bm       F#m     Bsus4 B
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
