A Skull A Suitcase And A Long Red Bottle Of Wine Chords

(ver. 1)
Robyn Hitchcock
[Verse 1]
D          Cadd9            G    Fadd9
And in the evening when you fade away
D              Cadd9         G      Fadd9
The same thing happens every single day
D               Cadd9                 G      Em   D
Cause when your dreams come true they pretty soon decay
 
[Verse 2]
D               Cadd9         G           Fadd9
There's nothing you can do to change your mind
D           Cadd9             G     Fadd9
You're disappearing or you're going blind
D               Cadd9               G  Em    D
And when you're gone there won't be anything behind
 
[Chorus]
         G        F               C                  G
Except a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine
  G        F               C                  G
A skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine
 
[Verse 3]
D           Cadd9        G      Fadd9
You're disappearing in a purple fog
D      Cadd9                  G        Fadd9
It's a machine and you're its faithful cog
D             Cadd9         G          Em       D
You love your woman but you just don't love her dog
 
[Chorus]
                      G        F               C                  G
Which means you get a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine
  G        F               C                  G
A skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine
 
[Bridge]
Em        D          C       G
There you go putting up no resistance
         C                      G
You just wander off through the town
C                     Dsus4  D
Lock yourself out and drown
Em              D             C        G
But when you're gone, does it make any difference
           C           G
If there's nobody else around
    C              D    Dsus4  D
The only way up is down
 
[Verse 4]
D         Cadd9        G          Fadd9
The giant sun sets red behind the hay
D      Cadd9                 G        Fadd9
Like a balloon that has just lost its way
D         Cadd9              G             Em     D
You never dreamed that stuff would get you in its sway
 
[Chorus]
          G        F               C                  G
Give me a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine
          G        F               C                  G
Give me a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine
 
[Solo]
D  Cadd9  G  Fadd9
D  Cadd9  G  Fadd9
D  Cadd9  G  Em  D
 
[Chorus]
          G        F               C                  G
Give me a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine
          G        F               C                  G
Give me a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine
 
[Outro]
C             G
Red bottle of wine
(Repeat to fade)
