Black Girl / Kisses Sweeter Than Wine Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Led[G] Be[F]lly was[C] a gre[D]at musician.
He [G]couldn't read music,
but he [C]had the mu[D]sic in his head
and in his [G]hands.[C][F]
[D]Of course, he had many
funny ways of playing.
He never played an A minor [D]chord[F]
[Dm]as l[D]ong as he lived, but he'd sing in A minor and
[G]play in A [D]major.[G][F][Am][F][D]
[G][F][Am][F][D]
and another one of his [G]songs,
[D]well he took over an
old Irish tune
and put some rhythm to it.
Later on, I and the rest of the weavers
put [G]some new [D]words to it, too.
And [G]maybe you remember i[D]t.[G][C][G][Em][C][D][G]
[C][G][Em][C][D][F][Am][C][D]
[F][Am][C][D][C][D]
When I was a young [G]man,
[D]I'd never been kissed
[C]I g[G]ot to thinkin' o[C]f her,
[D]what I'd missed
Got me [Dm]a girl, [C]I kissed her and then
Oh Lord, [D]I kissed her a[Dm]gain
[F]Oh Lor[Am]d, kisses swe[D]eter than wine
If you believe it, sing it
[F]Oh, [C]kisses [D]sweeter [C]than [D]wine
I asked her would she marry
[G]and [F]be my sweet [C]wife
We'd [Am]be so happy, [D]oh the love
I begged and [G]pleaded like
[C]a natural man
And then, [Am]oh lord, she g[D]ave me her hand
[F]Oh, [C]kisses [D]sweeter [C]than [D]wine
Sing it for me.
[F]Oh, [Am]these [Dm]two [D]strangers at o[C]ne.[D][G][C][G]
[C][D][G][C][G][C][D][F][C]
[D][F][C][D][C][D]
I worked mighty hard [G]and
[C]so did my wife,
working [Am]hand in hand to
[D]make a good life.
Farmed [C]in the field and [G]weeding the pin,
[C]I w[Am]as, oh Lord, the fat[D]her of twins.
[F]Oh, kis[Am]ses swe[Dm]eter tha[D]n wine.[F]
Oh, [C]kisses [Dm]sweet[D]er than [Dm]wine[D].
Our children numbered [G]just [F]about [C]four,
they [Am]all had sweethearts
[D]a -knockin' at the door.
They all [C]got married,
they didn't hesitate,
[Am]I was, oh Lord,
the grand[D]father of [Dm]eight.
[F]Oh, [C]this is sweeter than [D]wine.
Oh,
[F]Oh, [Am]this [Dm]is sw[D]eeter than[Dm] wine[D]
Now we are old [G]and [F]ready to go
[C]We get to thinkin' [Am]what
happened a [D]long time ago
Had [F]a lot of k[C]ids, trouble and pain
But, oh [Am]Lord, we'd [D]do it again
[F]Oh, [Dm]this [F]is sweeter[D]
[C]than [D]wine[F][Dm][D]
Once more for all the grandparents,
[F]once [Dm]more [C]fo[D]r all the little
children who don't know
[F]Oh, Christ[D]mas tree.
Oh, Christmas tree.
Thank you.
