Nettle Wine by Ralph McTell, from the album Not Til Tomorrow (1972)
[Intro]
D E9 D A7 (x2)
D E9 G A7 In my country garden, underneath the mountain D E7 G A7 With the dead-nettles growing all around the door D E9 G A7 Early every morning the sun grows up the mountain D E7 G G Bm7 A7 D Setting in the sea in the evening once more. D6 Taking water from the brook D7 D E7 G A7 Wondering who it was that took the stones from the mountain and built this cottage here D E9 G A7 Two up and two down, miles from the nearest town D E7 G G Bm7 A7 D I wonder who he was though the reason why is clear
D E9 D A7
D E9 G A7 Take a bunch of nettles and add a little water D E7 G A7 Drawn from the stream running outside the door D E9 G A7 Leave it for a month or two then bottle it and drink the brew D E7 G G Bm7 A7 D And watch the suns go down in the sea once more. D6 Taking wood to build a fire D7 D E7 G A7 Could you really get much higher than standing in the doorway with a glass of nettle wine D E9 G A7 My lady beside me, the mountain behind me D E7 G G Bm7 A7 D Before me the sea and the red skyline.
