[Verse 1] Am Dm Well, the bull is on the run and the bear has come. E Am The time is right for moving to Chicago. Am Dm Got a cousin out there who still recalls my mother E Am with a sofa bed in the basement of his brownstone Am Dm Now the arm of the law has long been broken E Am Still it's grubby little fingers grasp at me Am Dm I wear your silver locket as a token E Am Of the everlasting love I long to keep. [Chorus] F C C/G C I have seen the guilded palace F E Where you drink your cherry wine Am Am/G and filled the chalice of another Dm E Am Oh, soon it will be mine. [Verse 2] Am Dm I filched a wedding dress from my ex-lover E Am Fixed a job to pay off my tuxedo Am Dm two boys in a flatbed undercover E Am Only one will make it to Toledo Am Dm And I heard your new companion is a Chaplan E Am Well what do you think he'd charge to read the vows Am Dm I reap the famous grass of midwest farmland E Am Stumbling up the front steps to your house [Chorus] F C C/G C I have seen the guilded palace F E Where you drink your cherry wine Am Am/G and filled the chalice of another Dm E Am Oh, soon it will be mine. [Solo] Am Dm E Am Dm E Am [Verse 3] Am Dm I have another pull of my whiskey E Am say "I've come to take back what belongs to me." Am Dm He says "I think I understand you correctly, E Am I've got a house warming gift up my sleeve." Am Dm Now I've stared down a birdshot loaded rifle E Am I've given both my ears to bowie knives Am Dm but the .357 smokeless ain't no trifle E Am You can see clean through my chest to the other side. [Chorus] F C C/G C All my hatred all my malice F E Is flowing out like cherry wine Am Am/G aI will plague you here no longer Dm E Am You were never to be mine N.C. All my hatred all my malice N.C. Is flowing out like cherry wine N.C. I will plague you here no longer N.C. You were never to be mine Am Am/G I will plague you here no longer Dm E Am You were never to be mine
Well the bull is on the run And the bear has come The time is ripe for moving to Chicago Got a cousin out there who still recalls my mother With a sofa bed in the bas#ment of his brownstone Now the arm of the law has long been broken Still its grubby little fingers grasp at me I wear your silver locket as a token Of the everlasting love I long to keep I have seen the gilded palace Where you drink your cherry wine And fill the chalice of another Oh, soon, it will be mine I filched a wedding dress from my ex-lover Fixed a job to pay off my tuxedo Two boys in a flatbed undercover Only one will make it to Toledo I heard your new companion is a chaplain Well what do you think he’d charge to read the vowels? I reek of Famous Grouse and Midwest farmland Stumbling up the front steps to your house I have seen the gilded palace Where you drink your cherry wine And fill the chalice of another Oh, soon, it will be mine I have another pull of my whiskey Say I’ve come to take back what belongs to me He says “I think I understand you correctly I’ve got a housewarming gift up my sleeve” Now I’ve stared down a birdshot-loaded rifle I’ve given both my ears to bowie knives But the .357 smokeless ain’t no trifle You can see clean through my chest to the other side All my hatred, all my malice Flowing out like cherry wine I will plague you here no longer You were never to be mine All my hatred, all my malice Flowing out like cherry wine I will plague you here no longer You were never to be mine I will plague you here no longer You were never to be mine
