White Winos Tab

by Loudon Wainwright Iii


This is an awesome song from Loudon's album "Last Man On Earth". Its got fingerpicking 
but its easy to work out once you have the chords. The intro/bridge is based around Dsus 
Enjoy.

Intro   


Mother liked her white wine, when she was alive
                                            
She was desperate to live, but her limit was five

Carefully I'd kiss her, and send her off to bed
                                                        
Thank God we stuck with white wine, and stayed away from red
                                                 
Always stick with white wine and stay away from...


Mother liked her white wine, and she'd have a glass or two
                                             
Almost every single night after her day was through

Sancerre, Chardonnay, Chablis, Pinot Grigio
                                         
Just to take the edge off, just to get the glow,
                                                       
You've got to take the edge off if you want to get the...

Bridge   


Mother liked her white wine and we'd have a glass or three
                                                       
And we'd sit out on the screen porch, white winos mom and me

We'd talk about my childhood, recap my career,
                                                   
When we got to my father that was when I'd switch to beer
                                                     
When we got to the old man then I'd always switch to...


Mother liked her white wine and she'd have a glass or 4
                                                     
Each empty bottle a dead soldier, the marriage was the war

When we blurred the edges, when we drank the lot
                                         
Thats when I got nervous, when the glow got hot
                                        
I always get nervous when the glow gets...

Bridge   


I still like my white wine and I'll have a glass or two
                                                                    
And when I'm down I'll have some whiskey, thats something I shouldn't do

Every now and then, I'll take a drop of red
                                          
When I'm with a woman that I want to take to bed
                                              
When I'm with a woman that I want to take to...


Mother liked her white wine, when she was alive
                                           
She was desperate to live, but her limit was five

Carefully I'd kiss her, and send her off to bed
                                                      
Thank God we stuck with white wine, and stayed away from red
                                
Always stick with white wine, and stay away from
                    
Mother liked her white wine
