Chords

[Verse 1]
G
Every year about this time

   F                    G
My wife Melva made some wine
Every year about this time
    F                       G
The air is sweet as Melva's wine
And I sip her wine and I listen to the robin sings
              F                     G
And the river runs through Kingston Springs
[Verse 2]
G
Every year about this time

  F                           G
A few ol' friends come up the walk
Every year about this time
  F                          G
A few ol' friends stop by to talk
And we talk about the crops and weather and things
                    F                G
And the young folks here in Kingston Springs
[Chorus]
F
I've got a brother up Chicago way

                             G         Em      Am
He wants me to visit him someday and I may sometimes

    F
But not as long as the robin sings

                                    G
And the river runs through Kingston Springs
[Verse 3] It was last year about this time
F                            G
Melva made her last batch of wine
It was last year about this time
    F                          G
She left for me her warm sweet wine
She could sing as sweet as the robins sing
          F                 G
Above her grave in Kingston Springs
[Chorus]
F
I've got a brother up Chicago way

                             G         Em      Am
He wants me to visit him someday and I may sometimes

    F
But not as long as the robin sings

                                    G
And the river runs through Kingston Springs
[Outro] Cause it was last year about this time
     F                        G
That Melva made this glass of wine
