Wine And Blood Tab par Gov’t Mule

F C G Em A

Am             G       F              Em        D  
Desiree's in disarray waiting for her angels to come
          Am                           G                   F
Where she used to feel the weight of a thousand lifetimes
Em           D
Now she just feels numb
    Em                        D     C              G             F
But there was a time when her beauty raised the eyebrows of the town
    Am                        G        F        Em            D
Any man would gladly give up all he had just to take Desiree down

F C G Em A
    Am               G   F        Em           D 
She stares out the window at the world passing by
       Am                  G 
She is caught beneath the wheel
     F                     Em             D
Too heavy to lift, she feels too weak to try
Em                    D    C        G                    F
People stare like strangers where once she might've asked them in
    Am                      G             F
To fill the void where her heart once was
            Em                D      
Now she just fills her glass again
     F
And again

CHORUS:
        C                    G
And she walks the floor less traveled
Dm                    Am
Thinks of a sad melody
F                       C      
Wine and blood don't mix like they used to
Dm                   F
Now they just make a memory
C                               G
Too many years trying to do the right thing for the wrong man
Dm                 F 
Now the picture is clear
    C                            D 
She drinks and she cries and she hides from the past
           F     C       G      Em         Am 
'Cause the truth is more bitter than the tears

F C G Em A

Am                        G      F               Em         D 
All these half-truths and alibis help build a wall of denial
          Am                    G   
She takes comfort in the night, darkness blocks the light
F                   Em        D 
From falling on her aging smile
Em               D   C            G                 F
Grey befalls her halo where there once was a golden mane
        Am                               G
And her eyes don't shine like they used to
             F        Em                D
Without the moon, the sun would be in vain



CHORUS: 
       C                    G
So she walks the floor less traveled
Dm                   Am 
Thinks of a sad melody
F                      C 
Wine and blood don't mix like they used to
Dm                   F 
Now they just make a memory
C                                 G               
Too many years trying to the right thing for the wrong man
        Dm         F
Now the picture is clear
    C                            D 
She drinks and she cries and she hides from the past
           F        C     G                A
'Cause the truth is more bitter than the tears

Am                   G     F               Em           D
She puts on her make-up, though no one's seen her for days
      Am                 G   F
Her silence is a lonely cry
       Em               D
She's trapped inside a maze
    Em                     D      C             G                 F
Her tears have turned to honey, drawing the black flies of depression
Am              G     F                Em   C     D  
Desiree's in disarray waiting for her angels again
