[Verse 1]
Dm C
One hand around my baby, the other's suppin' wine
Dm C Am
It's cold outside, the wind is blowin', but inside I am fine
Dm C
But a devil comes and takes me, bright colors fade to grey
Dm C Am
And I crawl out on hands and knees, broken in disarray,
Am Dm C Dm C Am
Broken in disarray
[Verse 2]
Dm C
But just one drink should soothe me, but more must follow then
Dm C Am
There is no one can stop me now from raisin' the glass again
Dm C
Once I had a fine home, a wife and a family too,
Dm C Am
And now I've got an empty bottle, a sad and a bitter brew
Am Dm C Dm C Am
A black and a bitter brew
[Verse 3]
Dm C
She was tall and slender, her beauty beyond compare
Dm C Am
Well I lost her on one rainy night, my soul is was laid bare
Dm C
She tired of being hungry, she tired of being alone,
Dm C Am
And that dark night my wife and child left me with a heart of stone,
Am Dm C Dm C Am
Left me with a heart of stone
[Verse 4]
Dm C
My face is worn with age now, my back is bent with care
Dm C Am
I ride the rails back and forth, no food, no luck, no fare
Dm C
But one day when I'll have luck again, I'll paint this grey town red,
Dm C Am
And ride the rails in coat and tails and sleep on a feather bed
Am Dm
Sleep on a feather bed
[Verse 5]
Dm C
And it's one hand around my baby, the other's suppin' wine
Dm C Am
It's cold outside, the wind is blowin', but inside I am fine
Dm C
But that passion comes and takes me, colors fade away
Dm C Am
And I crawl out on hands and knees, broken in disarray,
Am Dm
Broken in disarray
