[INTRO:] Em D C D G [VERSE 1:] There's a south wind rising and the moon shines on my windowsill I've got a feeling I might walk on over the hill
                               D
I'm bent but not broken, all I need is some rest 

      F         C         G     D          G
And a bottle of your very best, Blackberry wine
[VERSE 2:] There's a new moon rising and the wind sings its old song Pass it on over it's a sin to be sober too long
                               D
I'm bent but not broken, all I need is my share 

     F         C         G     D          G
Of a bottle of that very rare, Blackberry wine
[CHORUS:]

You know that I'm no good without you

[VERSE 3:] My old gal's got a new dress on, five and dime Try as she will she can't get me to come home on time
                              D
But I'd never cheat her or mistreat her you know 

   F        C          G   D          G
As over the mountain I go, Blackberry wine 

                           D
I'll be soft spoken, all I need is my rest 

      F         C         G     D          G
And a bottle of your very best, Blackberry wine
[VERSE 4:] Now my days are numbered and one more heel's been killed Blackberry John left me his old recipe in his will
                               D
I'm bent but not broken, all I need is some time 

      F         C         G     D          G
And a bottle of your very fine, Blackberry wine
[CHORUS:
