As recorded by Conway Twitty (From the 1967 Album COUNTRY) [Intro] A D A E7 A [Verse 1]
A              D                A
Once I lived a life of wine and roses

      E7                               A
And I drank a lot back then for one concern

                   D               A
Success for me lay just around the corner

             B7                                    E7
I thought my social friends would help me make the turn
[Chorus]
            A              D                A
But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses

  E7                         A
A victim of the drunken life I chose

                  D                       A
Now all my social friends look down their noses

         E7                               A
'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
[Lap Steel Solo] A D A E7 A [Verse 2]
A                          D             A
I stood by and watched the bottle take a man of me

    E7                              A
The turn I made was not the one I'd planned

                        D             A
And I watched my social friends slip away from me

        B7                               E7
While I watched the bottle slowly take command
[Out-Chorus]
        A                  D                A
But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses

  E7                         A
A victim of the drunken life I chose

                  D                       A
Now all my social friends look down their noses

         E7                               A
'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose

        E7                               A
Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
