Ill Trade You Money For Wine Chords

(ver. 1)
Robbie Fulks
Intro: Em Am Em Am Em Am G D Em

Em                     Am
Corn in the crib won't turn your dollar green 
Em                     Am
A dollar won't get you high
Em                  Am 
Some days a drop is all a body needs 
G             D             Em
Some days the bottle drains dry

CHORUS: 
Em                      Am
Pockets of change don't drive my worry down 
Em                     Am
Diamonds don't make me shine 
Em                      Am
It's a short life and a long time underground 
G              D         Em
I'll trade you money for wine

Em Am Em Am Em Am G D Em

Em                         Am
I've seen this town from a long black Lincoln, boys 
Em                   Am
Back when copper was king 
Em                       Am
Ten years I stood on the same street corner, boys 
G       D          Em
I never want for a thing

CHORUS

Em Am Em Am Em Am G D Em

Em                        Am
Wild were the nights when I was rolling, boys 
Em               Am
No hunger unsatisfied 
Em                    Am
Feared was my name in Elko County, boys 
G             D       Em
Now they just walk on by

Em                      Am
The banker, he spares a quarter for my cup
Em                        Am 
His trouble's deeper than mine 
Em                      Am
That way of life, boys, there ain't gold enough 
G              D         Em
I'll trade you money for wine

Em Am Em Am Em Am G D Em

Em                   Am
See how the rain washes the sulfur dust 
Em                   Am
Off to the wide blue sea 
Em                       Am
Freed from the rock, the copper flies to where
G        D        Em 
No miner ever may see

Em                     Am
Shallow your cares, in vain your industry 
Em                    Am
So says the wide blue sea 
Em               Am
I never burdened God on your account
G                D          Em 
Don't waste your prayers on me

Em Am Em Am Em Am G D Em
Em Am Em Am Em Am G D Em

Em                 Am
I've seen a man of wealth and family 
Em                          Am
Scrimp till his hair's gone grey 
Em                      Am
Laid in the ground just like I'm gonna be 
G             D          Em
He might have drunk it away

CHORUS
