_ _ _ _ [D] _ [C] _ [F] _ _
Mother liked her white wine when she was alive
She was desperate to [D] live but her limit [C] was five
[F] Carefully I'd kiss her and send her off to bed
[Am] We always [Gm] stuck with white wine, [C] we stayed away from [D] [Dm] red
_ _ [Am] Always [Gm] stick with white [C] wine, stay away from
[F] Mother liked her white wine, she'd have a glass or two
Almost every single [D] night after her [C] day was [F] through
Sancerre, Chardonnay, Chablis, Pinot Grigio
[Am] Just to [Bb] take the edge [C] off, just to get [Dm] the glow
You [D] _ [Am] got to [Gm] take the edge [C] off if you want to [F] get the _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ [C] _ [F] _ _
Mother liked her white wine, she'd have a glass or three

[F] We'd talk about our childhood, recap my career
[Am] When we got to [Gm] my father that [C] was when I'd switch [D] to [Dm] beer

Mother liked her white wine, she'd have a glass or four
Each empty bottle a dead soldier, [Dm] the marriage [C] was the war

Mother liked her white wine when she was alive
She was desperate to [D] live but her limit was [C] five
[F] Carefully I'd kiss her, send her off to bed
[Am] Thank God we [Gm] stopped to white [C] wine and we stayed away [F] from
