Intro C Am G 

C 
Mother liked her white wine, when she was alive 
                               Am             G 
She was desperate to live, but her limit was five 
C 
Carefully I'd kiss her, and send her off to bed 
Em                      F               G                   Am7 
Thank God we stuck with white wine, and stayed away from red 
Em                   F                      G        C 
Always stick with white wine and stay away from... 

C 
Mother liked her white wine, and she'd have a glass or two 
                           Am                  G 
Almost every single night after her day was through 
C 
Sancerre, Chardonnay, Chablis, Pinot Grigio 
Em               F         G                Am7 
Just to take the edge off, just to get the glow, 
Em                      F                G                 C 
You've got to take the edge off if you want to get the... 

Bridge C Am G 

C 
Mother liked her white wine and we'd have a glass or three 
                                       Am                G 
And we'd sit out on the screen porch, white winos mom and me 
C 
We'd talk about my childhood, recap my career, 
Em                 F               G                  Am 
When we got to my father that was when I'd switch to beer 
Em                      F                G                 C                   
When we got to the old man then I'd always switch to... 

C 
Mother liked her white wine and she'd have a glass or 4 
                                 Am                    G 
Each empty bottle a dead soldier, the marriage was the war 
C 
When we blurred the edges, when we drank a lot 
Em               F         G                 Am 
Thats when I got nervous, when the glow got hot 
Em            F                G            C 
I always get nervous when the glow gets... 

Bridge C Am G 

C 
I still like my white wine and I'll have a glass or two 
                                          Am                          G 
And when I'm down I'll have some whiskey, thats something I shouldn't do 
C 
Every now and then, I'll take a drop of red 
Em              F            G               Am 
When I'm with a woman that I want to take to bed 
Em              F                    G           C 
When I'm with a woman that I want to take to...

Always stick with white wine, and stay away from
