Elvis Costello – Down Among The Wines And Spirits (Guitar)

E
[tab]A               E
Where a man gets what he merits

A
Once he was written in letters of

E
nine feet tall

F#7
Now he finds how

B7
far he's fallen

E        C#m             B       E
Since he set his mind on her completely

A
Oh well I guess that you mustn't have

E
seen him lately

A
Walking around with a pain that

E
never ceases

F#
He starts to speak and then he

B7
falls to pieces

E
Down among the wines and spirits

A               E
Where a man gets what he merits

A
Lives with the echoing words of their

E
final quarrel

F#
The vacant chamber and the

Bm   C#7   F#  B7
empty ba—a—a-arrel

B7        A
But as he picks himself up from a

B7
sawdust floor

E
Clicks his fingers to that

A
swinging door

                      B7
Suddenly he's calling out

E     B     E
more, more, more

A             C#m
I'm twice the foolish man

D       B
I was before

A              E
Down among the wines and spirits

E
Bubbles escaping from him from the

E
rim of a glass of grape

     A
She sails through his memory just like a

E
ship of chaplet

A
As it started to sink he was drinking to

E
drown his sorrows

F#
That fill his nights and they

Bm    C#7    F#   B7
empty his to—mo—o—rrows

B7             A
But as he picks himself up from a

B
sawdust floor

E
Clicks his fingers to that

A
swinging door

                      B7
Suddenly he's calling out

E     B7     E
more, more, more

A           C#m
Speaks of invisible things he

D      B
hardly credits

A
Down among

F#m
Down among

        F#      E
the wi—ines and spirits
