Turns Around The Bottle

Capo 2
D G
One by one we jumped the wire
Em A
With a lendin' hand to inspire
D G
Both the artist and the writer
Em A
As timber fed the fire
Em A
Gently now, as the night falls..
D G
We take our turns around the bottle
Em A
I can tell.... by the way you smile
Em A D
That we've got a good thing.... going on
D G
Spread out along the open shore
Em A
The water's quiet as a mirror
D G
Just soft enough so we could hear
Em A
Reflections from long before
Em A
But gently now, as night falls...
D G
We take our turns around the bottle
Em A
I can tell... by the way you smile
Em A D
That we've got a good thing... going on
D G
There were many dark and lonely days
Em A
'til you all came a running by
D G
To dry a tear from my face
Em A
Hadn't felt the fresh air in a while
Em A
Gently now, as the night falls
D G
We take our turns around the bottle
Em A
I can tell... by the way you smile
Em A D
That we've got... a good thing going on
