Key of G

1st verse
(G) On fermented evenings
I get (G7) knee deep in the (C) wine
Your memory is (D) like a cork
It keeps me in it all the (G) time (D)
What used to be (G) enchanted
Is now (G7) drunk and  tired and (C) blue
And these fermented (D) evenings
Are all that's left of me and (G) you (C) (G)

Chorus
(G7) Sweet fruit that (C) was our love
Has been replaced with (G) alcohol
Now I have fermented (C) evenings
(D) Every evening because
(G) They say the sweetest (G) grapes will make 
The strongest (G7)  wine I know that's (C)  true
The sweetest love makes the (D) weakest fools
Look at me I'm living (G) proof (C) (G)

2nd verse
(G) On these fermented evenings
When the (G7) night comes pressing (C) down
That's when the wine comes (D) out
By the gallon and I (G) drown (D)
The wines a nice (G) burgundy
My (G7) tears a (C) Chardonnay
Your memory lets (D) them both out
Wish I could throw this cork (G) away (C) (G)

Repute  Chorus
Instrumental

Chorus
(G7) Sweet fruit that (C) was our love
Has been replaced with (G) alcohol
Now I have fermented (C) evenings
(D) Every evening because
What used to be (G) enchanted?
Is now (G7) drunk and tired and (C) mean
And these fermented (D) evenings
Are all that's left of you and (G) me (C) (G)

Yeah, these fermented (D) evenings 
Are all that's left of you and (C) me. (D) (G) (C) (G)
