Key: D
Introduction:
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
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
Chorus
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
Chorus
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
Chorus
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
Chorus
D9 Em B7 Em
She had kisses sweeter than wine, she had
G D9 Em B7 Em
Oh oh kisses sweeter than wine
