WEAVERS - "kisses sweeter than wine" Tablature
Official WEAVERS Tablature & Sheet Music »
From: David #6 <david6@netcom.com>
Here's one of my all-time favorite songs. You may see it credited to "Paul
Campbell" in some places, but that was the standard pseudonym of The
Weavers. You can change the lyrics around to conform to the gender (or
genders) of the person singing.
KISSES SWEETER THAN WINE
by Lee Hayes (of The Weavers)
E D C D
When I was a young man and never been kissed
Bm E
I got to thinking over what I had missed
E D C D
Got me a girl and I kissed her and then
Bm E
Oh, Lord, I kissed her again
G D C Bm E
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
G D C Bm E
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
I asked her would she marry and be my sweet wife
And we would be so happy all of our lives
I begged and I pleaded like a natural man and then
Oh, Lord, she gave me her hand
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
I worked mighty hard and so did my wife
We worked hand in hand to make a good life
There was corn in the fields and wheat in the bins and I was
Oh, Lord, the father of twins
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
Our children numbered just about four
They all had sweethearts a-knocking at the door
They all got married and they didn't hesitate, I was
Oh, Lord, granfather of eight
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
Now I am old and ready to go
I get to thinking what happened a long time ago
I had a lot of kids, a lot of trouble and pain, but
Oh, Lord, I'd do it again
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine
Oh..... kisses sweeter than wine

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official WEAVERS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
