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 G 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 G 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 G 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 G 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 G D9 Em B7 Em She had kisses sweeter than wine, she had G D9 Em B7 Em Oh oh kisses sweeter than wine
