Chords
From "Shadows" (1982)
Played in blues/shuffle style, with the A5 chord (x022)
constantly hammering on to the 6th note (x024).
Gord plays the chorus chords by removing his finger from the
6th string to make the F#m/E, then from the 5th and 4th strings
to make a Dmaj7.

[Intro]
F#m E D E A5 A6 A5 A6
[Verse]
A5 There's a south wind rising and the moon shines on my window sill, A5 I've got a feeling I might walk on over the hill. A5 E5 I'm bent but not broken, all I need is some rest, G D A5 E5 A5 and a bottle of your very best...blackberry wine.
[Verse]
A5 There's a new moon rising, and the wind sings its old song. A5 Pass it on over, it's a sin to be sober too long! A5 E5 I'm bent but not broken, all I need is my share, G D A5 E5 A5 of a bottle of that very rare...blackberry wine.
[Chorus]
F#m Blackberry wine... F#m/E Dmaj7 You know that I'm no good without you... E5 A5 blackberry wine!
[Verse]
A5 Now, my old gal's got a new dress on, five and dime. A5 Try as she will she can't get me to come home on time. A5 E5 But I'd never cheat her or mistreat her you know, G D A5 E5 A5 as over the mountain I go... blackberry wine... A5 E5 I'll be soft-spoken, all I need is my rest, G D A5 E5 A5 And a bottle of your very best, blackberry wine.
A5
[Verse]
A5 Now my days are numbered and one more heel's been killed. A5 Blackberry John left me his old recipe in his will! A5 E5 I'm bent but not broken, all I need is some time, G D A5 E5 A5 And a bottle of your very fine, Blackberry wine.
[Chorus]
F#m Blackberry wine, F#m/E Dmaj7 E5 You know that I'm quite dry without you, A blackberry wine!
