Kisses Sweeter Than Wine Paul Campbell & Joel Newman Recorded by Jimmie Rodgers*, 1957 KEY EM Em D C Bm When

I was a young man and never been kissed Am Bm7 Em I got to thinking it over what I had missed. Em D C Bm I got me a girl, I kissed her and then, and then, Am Bm7 Em Oh Lord, I kissed her again. Chorus: G D9 Em B7 Em She had kisses sweeter than wine, she had G D9 Em B7 Em Oh - oh kisses sweeter than wine. Em D C Bm I asked her to marry and be my sweet wife, Am Bm7 Em And we would be so happy the rest of our lives. Em D C Bm I begged and I pleaded like a natural man, Am Bm7 Em And then, Oh Lord, she gave me her hand. G D9 Em B7 Em She had kisses sweeter than wine, she had G D9 Em B7 Em Oh - oh kisses sweeter than wine. Em D C Bm I worked mighty hard and so did my wife, Am Bm7 Em Workin' hand in hand to make a good life. Em D C Bm With corn in the field and wheat in the bins, Am Bm7 Em I was, Oh Lord, the father of twins. G D9 Em B7 Em She had kisses sweeter than wine, she had G D9 Em B7 Em Oh - oh kisses sweeter than wine. Em D C Bm Our children they numbered just about four, Am Bm7 Em They all had sweethearts knockin' at the door. Em D C Bm They all got married and they didn't hesitate; Am Bm7 Em I was, Oh Lord, the grandfather of eight. G D9 Em B7 Em She had kisses sweeter than wine, she had G D9 Em B7 Em Oh - oh kisses sweeter than wine. Em D C Bm Now that we're old, and ready to go, Am Bm7 Em We get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago. Em D C Bm We had a lot of kids, trouble and pain, Am Bm7 Em But, Oh Lord, we'd do it again.
