[N] [G] Looking back at the repertoire, there seems to [C] be an underlying theme of [Bb] drinking and singing.
Is [D] that a fair assessment, you reckon?
Indeed.
I [C] guess earlier on we were doing death [F] songs.
[B]
So then we were [Gb] doing death [F] and drinking songs.
[B] And then death went [Gm] on.
Boring!
Yeah, yeah.
[E] Keep drinking until you die.
But that's a good thing.
It's parties.
People are partying.
But we're going [Db] to do one of the songs that you did [C] in your early repertoire.
I think it was the Trade Union Club or [F] something?
1982?
[G] [C] An amazing amount of
Research.
I don't know about amount, but very [Ab] spot on research.
[Gb] Can I tell you, I didn't do it myself.
[E] Whoever's done it, it's quite remarkable.
My people found this out.
[C] But these were songs that you did in there.
One of them [Bbm] was Bottle of Wine.
Did it mean [Eb] much to the audience then?
[Db] What do you know about the
It's the Fireballs, wasn't it?
Exactly.
[A] A band called the [F] Fireballs.
Do you know anything about them?
[D] As far as I know
I remember the song and I remember it being on the radio.
All I remember is I [C] think they were one-hit wonders in this country.
[Eb] But it was a song that you didn't forget, [D] which was a cool thing.
Indeed.
And I thought it'd be a great way to knock it off if we went back and did it together just for a laugh.
In fact, let's test your memory.
[Dm] Let's see if you've forgotten it.
I've got the lyrics over here.
We'll have a [C] play of it.
We've got Ben playing it.
[F] Really?
Right now?
[Eb] Oh, come on!
Shall we?
[C] [A]
[Em]
[A] I'm fruit of the vine
When you're gonna let me [Em] get sober
Leave me alone, let me go home
Let me go [A] home and [E] start over
[A] Rambling [E] around this dirty old town
[A] Singing for [E] nickels and dimes
[A] I'm getting [E] tough and [D] I ain't got [Em] enough
So buy me a bottle, a bottle of [A] wine
Fruit of the vine
When you're gonna let me get [E] [A] sober
Leave me alone, let me go home
Let me go home and [E] start [A] over
The little old [Em] hotel is colder than hell
It's colder and it's dark as the [A] mine
The light is so [E] dim
I [D] had to [A] grin, cause I got me a [E] bottle of wine
[Em] A bottle [A] of wine, fruit of the vine
When you're gonna let me get [E] sober
Leave [A] me alone, let me go home
Let me go home and [E] start [Em] over
Well, the [A] preacher will [E] preach
The [D] teacher will [A] teach
But money will [E] dig in the [Em] mine
[E] I ride the Ross, [D] trusting in [Em] God
So buy me a [E] bottle of wine
[Em] A bottle of [A] wine, fruit of the vine
When you're gonna let me get [Em] sober
Leave me alone, let me [A] go home
Let me go home and start [E]
[A] over
[G]
Well, the [A] pain in my [E] head, [D] there's bugs in my [Em] bed
My pants are so old that they shine
[G] Out [A] in the [E] street, I tell the people I [A] meet
They got to buy me a [E]
bottle of wine
[A] A bottle of wine, fruit of the [Em] vine
When you're gonna let me get sober
Leave me [A] alone, [Em] let me [A] go home
Let me go home and [E] start [A] over
Let me go home and [E] start over
[A] Let me go home and start over
Don't like your first gig, mate?
