Bb
There's a fly in the window, a dog in the yard

      Cm
And a year since I saw you

          Bb
There's a trunk in the corner I keep all my letters

   Cm
My bills and demands I keep too
[Pre-Chorus]
Cm        Gm                  Eb
Well, I can't help thinking about the times

D7                  Gm
You were a wife of mine

               Bb                           Eb
You aimed to please me, cooked black-eyed peas-me

      F         Bb
Made elderberry wine
[Chorus]
F                                   Eb         Bb
Drunk all the time, feeling fine on elderberry wine

F
Those were the days, we'd lay in the haze

   Eb             Bb
Forget depressive times

F                                 Eb             Bb
How can I ever get it together without a wife in line?

To pick the crop and get me hot on elderberry wine
[Verse 2]
Eb      Bb
Round a tree in the summer, a fire in the fall

      Cm
Flat out when they couldn't stand

    Bb
The bottle went round like a woman down south

       Cm
Passed on from hand to hand
[Pre-Chorus]
Cm        Gm                  Eb
Well, I can't help thinking about the times

Made elderberry wine
