Capo 2

[Intro]

A D

[Verse 1]

        D
She unscrews the top of a new whiskey bottle
        (D)                                              A
And shuffles about in her candle lit hovel,
        (A)
Like some kind of witch with blue fingers in mittens
        (A)                                                                D
She smells like the cat and the neighbours she sickens,
        D
The black and white t.v. has long seen a picture
        D7                               G
The cross on the wall is a permanent fixture,
         A
The postman delivers the final reminders
        (A)                                G  F#m  Em  D
She sells off her silver and poodles in china.

[Refrain]

(D)                               Em7
Drinks to remember, I me and myself
         A                                                                      D
And winds up the clock and knocks dust from the shelf
(D)                              Em7
Home is a love that I miss very much
            A                                       G  F#m   Em  D
So the past has been bottled and labelled with love.

[Verse 2]

D
During the war time an american pilot
(D)                                                A
Made every air raid a time of excitement,
        (A)
She moved to his prairie and married the texan
        (A)                                                        D
She learnt from a distance how love was a lesson,
(D)
He became drinker and she became mother
       D7                                         G
She knew that one day she'd be one or the other,
      A
He ate himself older, drunk himself dizzy
A                                         G    F#m  Em   D
Proud of her features, she kept herself pretty.

[Verse 3]

D
He like a cowboy died drunk in a slumber
(D)                                                   A
Out on the porch in the middle of summer,
(A)
She crossed the ocean back home to her family
(A)                                                          D
But they had retired to roads that were sandy,
        (D)
She moved home alone without friends or relations
D7                                G
Lived in a world full of age reservation,
       A
On moth eaten armchairs she'd say that she's sod all
        (A)                                      G       F#m  Em  D
The friends who had left her to drink from the bottle.

[Chorus] (x2)

        A                                        G  F#m  Em   D
The past has been bottled and labelled with love
        A                                             G  F#m  Em   D
The past has been bottled..... and labelled with love

D
