Jerry Jeff Walker – Backsliders Wine (Guitar)

       D             G
As the rain ruins my alibi

            C                       G
I'm down to tellin' you my red-eyed mind

              C
It's not that sun bright path

               G
That called me from my home

               F C D                G
It's just that fine   backslider's wine

         D               G
My momma sings out in my memory

              C                   G
Oh son, don't wear no black eyed shine

               C                      G
Fight for your rights but don't just fight for right

           F  C  D               G
And do not drink   backslider's wine

             D                     G
But I took myself for a strong and loving soul

               C                             G
'Til I found myself face down on a bar room floor

          C               G
Crying my God, what has become of me

           F  C  D               G
I dare not drink   backslider's wine no more

         D               G
My momma sings out in my memory

              C                  G
Oh son, don't take no black eyed shine

               C                     G
Fight for your rights but don't just fight for right

           F  C  D               G
And do not drink   backslider's wine

           F  C  D              G
No, do not drink   backslider's wine
