Clare Valley Chords & Lyrics - The Ball And Chain

[INTRO]
[Bm] [Am] [D]

[VERSE 1]
[G]Driving home [Cmaj7]toward the vines
Linking [Bm7]arms ‘cross the [Am7]hill
[G]Evening light is [Am7]dying into [C]sha[D]dow
[G]Winding up my [Cmaj7]window
To keep [Bm7]out the cold night [Am7]air
[G]Passing time with [Am7]memories I [C]fol[D]low

[CHORUS]
[Dm7]Old town days in Clare Va[G]lley
[Dm7]Misty mornings by the [C]stream
Leading [Bm7]me back [Am7]home [D]

[VERSE 2]
[G]Seven hill college [Cmaj7]out of the past
Where we [Bm7]thought that monks wore [Am7]robes
You [G]hid in the crypt and [Am7]listened in the [C]cha[D]pel
[G]Musty vintage wine [Cmaj7]barrels
[Bm7]Hidden from the [Am7]sun
And [G]echoes in the [Am7]sunless lit by [C]can[D]dles

[VERSE 3]
We were [G]sipping wine at [Cmaj7]Stanley’s
And pre[Bm7]tending we could [Am7]tell
The [G]reds and whites, the [Am7]cabernet and [C]ries[D]ling
[G]Taking home some [Cmaj7]bottles
[Bm7]Tasting by the [Am7]fire
And [G]adding to the [Am7]warm glow we were [C]fee[D]ling

[CHORUS]
[Dm7]Old town days in Clare Va[G]lley
[Dm7]Misty mornings by the [C]stream
Leading [Bm7]me back [Am7]home [D]

[VERSE 4]
Most [G]lazy summer [Cmaj7]afternoon
Spent [Bm7]looking for a [Am7]breeze
We [G]climbed up to spring [Am7]gully and found a [C]moun[D]tain
[G]Saw the gulf a[Cmaj7]cross the coast
Saw the [Bm7]sun glimpse on the [Am7]sea
The [G]sunset blew a [Am7]kiss cool as a [C]foun[D]tain

[VERSE 5]
[G]Cool winds turned by [Cmaj7]leaves to gold
As the [Bm7]grapes are carried [Am7]home
And [G]crushed into the [Am7]mellow juice of [C]vintage [D]wine
[G]Life’s spent late in[Cmaj7]to the night
As the [Bm7]young wine turns to [Am7]old
[G]Flavored by the [Am7]rich perfume of [C]time [D]

[OUTRO]
[Dm7]Old town days
[Dm7]Old town days in Clare Val[G]ley
[Dm7]Misty mornings
[Dm7]Misty mornings by the [C]stream
Leading [Bm7]me back [Am7]home
Back [G]home
