The Cat Empire – The Wine Song chords

Chords:
Transpose:
[So this is actually the first time I have ever posted a tab online, but that's only 
because I never bother even using this site because it is always wrong. However 
this song 
is rather tricky to work out, so when I learnt it, I came here to see if I was 
correct on a certain chord, and to my horror found someone had posted up this song 
to completely 
unaccurate chords. This offended me, so I decided to just do this and hopefully 
save as many as I can from learning the other version. If your playing this on 
piano you should be able to work out the melodic lines as Ollie plays them, and if 
you play guitar, good luck.]

INTRO
(3/4 time)
| Dm | F+/C# | F/C | G/B | Bb | 
Dm/A | A7 | Dm |

Dm F+/C# F/C G/BSongs and melodies change and change
BbAnd sway
Dm/A E7/G# A7But they still stay the same
Dm F+/C# G/C G/BThe songs that we sung when the dark days come
Bb Dm/A A7 DmAre the songs that we sung when we chased them away
Dm F+/C# F/C G/BIf I ever found a pot of gold
Bb Dm/A E7/G# A7I'd buy bottles untold of the nectar of the vines
Dm F+/C# F/C G/BI'm going to die with a twinkle in my eye
Bb Dm/A A7
Dm'cause I sung songs spun stories loved laughed and drank wine
Gm Dm A7 DmTomorrow is another day
Gm Dm A7 DmThe cats are out to play, to play
Gm Dm A7 DmThat old rusty spaceship wants to sail
Gm Dm A7 DmInto the milky way again
Dm Abdim A7 | /A /B
/C# |On a river of red red wine
[For this section, its really just the four chords written, but I included the bass notes as at the start when it is slow, those are very pronounced. But its just the chords with that Jewish Hora feel by alternating between the 5ths]
Dm Dm/A (repeat)Run...
(let's have some)
Gm Gm/D (repeat)Fun...
(we'll)
Dm Dm/A (repeat)Drink...
(a toast to the)
A7 A7/E (repeat)Sun...
[Same chords as verse 1] In summer the bushfires rage and rage And rage On such beautiful days And we fight them with water that runs through the cracks Water we're desperately trying to save So I'll just live on wine and water my vines And sleep on the wind with the fires right behind And sing on the beaches and dance through the night Oh we'll cry 'pass the wine, pass the wine, pass the wine'
Gm Dm A7 DmTomorrow is another day
Gm Dm A7 DmThe cats are out to play, to play
Gm Dm A7 DmThat old rusty spaceship wants to sail
Gm Dm A7 DmInto the milky way again
Dm Abdim A7 | /A /B
/C# |On a river of red red wine
[Again, same chords as before] Run... (let's have some) Fun... (we'll) Drink... (a toast to the) Sun... [Instrumental solo. This part is the same chords as the "run run run" section. The tricky part is the melody line, which I wont include, but if anyone actually wants it just contact me]
F C A7 DmOh what a beautiful day today!
Gm F C FToday's a day to celebrate
F C A7 DmGrab your bucket, grab your spade
Gm F C FWe're heading down to Half Moon Bay
F C A7 DmI saw a plane go into a cloud
Gm F C FI'm drunk I'm happy I'm singing and loud
F C A7 Gm A7 Bb [where the leading melody is C# D E D]
Two o'clock in the arvo, but hey that's allowed... Gm F | C C/E | F
A7 DmI'm having a good time and of that I am proud
[Have fun playing. An amazing song. It needs to be here.]
