Capo: 1st fret
[Intro]
C G/B Am7 Dm7 C G
[Verse 1]
C G/B Am7
Just before our love got lost you said, "I am as constant as the northern star"
Dm7 C G
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness. Where's that at? If you want me I'll be in the bar"
C G/B Am7 Dm7 C
On the back of a cartoon coaster, in the blue TV screen light, I drew a map of Canada
C G/B Am7
Oh, Ca - na - da oooh
Dm7 C G
With your face sketched on it twice
[Chorus]
F Em
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
Dm7 C
You're so bitter, so sweet
C C G/B Am7
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
Dm7 C G
And I would still be on my feet
N.C
Oh, I would still be on my feet
[Interlude]
C G/B Am7 Dm7 C G
[Verse 2]
C G/B Am7 Dm7 C
Oh, I am a lonely painter. I live in a box of paints. I'm frightened by the devil
G
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
C G/B Am7
Do you remember when you told me love was touching souls? Surely you touched mine,
Dm7 C G
'Cause part of you pours out of me in these lines from time to time
[Chorus]
F Em
And you are in my blood like holy wine
Dm7 C
You're so bitter, so sweet
C C G/B Am7
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
Dm7 C G
And I would still be on my feet
N.C
I'd still be on my feet
[Interlude]
C G/B Am7 Dm7 C G
[Verse 3]
C G/B Am7
I met a woman, she had a mouth like yours, she knew your life She knew your devils and your deeds
Dm7 C G
And she said, "Go to him, stay with him if you can, but be prepared to bleed"
[Chorus]
F Em
And you are in my blood like holy wine
Dm7 C
You're so bitter, so sweet
C C G/B Am7
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
Dm7 C G
And I would still be on my feet
N.C
I'd still be on my feet
[Outro]
C G/B Am7 Dm7 C G
Just before our love got lost you said
"I am as constant as a northern star"
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar"
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh, Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh, I would still be on my feet
Oh, I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time you told me
You said, "Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
And still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said, "Go to him, stay with him if you can
but be prepared to bleed"
Oh, but you are in my blood
You're my holy wine
You're so bitter
bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you darling
still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
