[Verse 1] ( spoken )
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C] [F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day,
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest,
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
In a big field of tall grass.
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C] [F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
I laid there in the sun and felt it caressing my face.
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C] [F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
As I fell asleep and dreamed,
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie,
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
And that I was the star of the movie.
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
This really blew my mind,
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
The fact that me an overfed long haired leaping gnome,
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C] [F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
Should be the star of a Hollywood movie, hmmm. 1:28
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C] [F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C] [F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
There I was, ummm, I was taken to a place, the hall of the mountain kings
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C] [F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
I stood high upon a mountain top, naked to the world
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C] [F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
In front of every kind of girl, there was
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
Long one's, tall ones, short ones, brown ones,
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C] [F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
Black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C] [F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
Out of the middle, came a lady
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C] [F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
She whispered in my ear something crazy, she said, 2:25
Chorus
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
Spill the wine, take that pearl
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
Spill the wine, take that pearl
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
Spill the wine, take that pearl
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
Spill the wine, take that pearl 2:41
[Verse 2] ( spoken )
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C] [F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
I thought to myself, what could that mean?
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C] [F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
Am I going crazy, or is this just a dream.
Now wait a minute
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
I know I'm lying in a field of grass somewhere
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
So it's all in my head
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C] [F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
And then I heard her say one more time 3:12
Chorus
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
Spill the wine, take that girl
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
Spill the wine, take that girl
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
Spill the wine, take that girl
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
Spill the wine, take that girl 3:28
[Verse 3] ( spoken )
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C] [F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C] [F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
As she disappeared, but soon she returned
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
In her hand was a bottle of wine
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
In the other a glass
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C] [F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
And raised it to her lips
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
And just before she drank it, she said 4:08
Chorus
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
Take the wine, take that girl
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
Spill the wine, take that girl
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
Spill the wine, take that girl, c’mon, c’mon,
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
Spill the wine, take that girl
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
Take that girl, yeah! 4:27
Outro
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
It's on girl, all you gotta do is spill that wine
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C] [F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C] [F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
Spill that wine, let me feel, let me feel hot, yeah! yeah! Owww,
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
Spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine,
Spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine,
[F] [C] [Bb] [Bb] [C]
Take that girl! 4:54
