{title:Kisses Sweeter Than Wine}
{st:Paul Campbell, Joel Newman}
When [F]I was a [C]young man and [Dm]never been [C]kissed,
I got to [Am]thinking it [C]over and [Dm]what I had missed.
I [F]got me a [C]gal and I [Dm]kissed her and [C]then,
Oh, [Am]Lord, I [Dm]kissed her again.
{c:Chorus:}
[F]Oh [C]oh k[Dm]isses s[Am]weeter than w[D]ine,
[F]Oh [C]oh k[Dm]isses s[Am]weeter than w[D]ine.
I asked her to marry and be my sweet wife,
We would be so happy the rest of our lives.
I begged and I pleaded like a natural man,
And then, oh Lord, She gave me her hand.
{c:Chorus.}
I worked mighty hard and so did my wife,
Working hand in hand to make a good life.
With corn in the field and wheat in the bin,
I was, oh Lord, the father of twins.
{c:Chorus.}
Our children numbered just about four,
And they all had sweethearts knockin' at the door.
They all got married and they didn't hesitate,
I was, oh Lord, grandfather of eight.
{c:Chorus.}
Now we are old and ready to go,
We get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago.
Had a lot of kids, trouble and pain,
But, oh Lord, we'd do it again.
{c:Chorus.}

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.
