So Much Wine Merry Christmas
Andrew Bird
Verse 1: I had nothing to say On Christmas day When you threw all your clothes in the snow When you burned your hair And you knocked over chairs I just tried to stay out of your way But when you fell asleep With blood on your teeth I just got in my car and drove away Listen to me butterfly There’s only so much wine That you can drink In one life And it will never be enough To save you from The bottom of your glass <i>Solo:</i> (Backing chords above) e|---------------12-14-15--15-14-12s10---------------12----------------------| B|--------------------------------------12-13-13s15----15-13-12--------------| G|---------7-8-9-------------------------------------------------------------| D|-9-9-9-10------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| N.C. e|--------------------------12-14-15--15-14-12---10--12-10-8s7--7s5-3-3-5-3--| B|-13-12-13-15-15s17s15------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Verse 2: (Crescendo) When the state highway starts I stop my car I get out to stare up at the stars And as meteors died And shot across the sky I just thought about your sad shining eyes And I went back for my clothes When the sun finally rose Oh but you were still passed out on the floor N.C. Listen to me butterfly N.C. There’s only so much wine That you can drink In one life But it will never be enough To save you from The bottom of your glass
