Wine and Roses
Wine & Roses
words and music by Andrew Sorenson
Intro: Abmaj7 Dbmaj7 Gbmaj7 Bmaj7 Bbmaj7
Bbm7 Dbmaj7 Gbmaj7 Bmaj7 Bmaj7 Bbm7 Eb7
Abmaj7 Gbmaj7
I'm falling in love with her 8 track mind, with plenty good reason to be so kind
Bmaj7 Dmaj7 Dbmaj7 Bm7 E7
Her favorite nightclub has a jukebox full of hits from the past
Abmaj7 Gbmaj7
She's not into emo or screamo or jazz, but she can do Shakespeare like nobody has
Bmaj7 Dmaj7 Dbmaj7 E11 E11
Is this what they call edu-tainment to the highest degree?
A11 A13 Ab11 Dbmaj7 Gb11 Gb13
Now she's crying I touched a nerve, we might be chalking it up to absurd
Gb13 Ab11 Gaug
Cause when the truth is spilled, it starts to flow.
A11 A13 Ab11 Dbnaj7 Gb11
I love you baby don't pay the bills, when I don't bring home the biggest kill
Gb11 Gb13 Dbmaj7 Gb11 Dbmaj7 Emaj7 A11
Her self-indulgent silent treatment goes, with Wine and Roses I suppose
Abmaj7 Gbmaj7
Always the rebel, that's sure fine by me, dancing and prancing with strange company
Bmaj7 Dmaj7 Dbmaj7 Bm7 E7
Yet keeping it wholesome like a chaperon is standing nearby.
Abmaj7 Gbmaj7
All in my mix and then make way for pout, nothing is lacking but the jokes have run out
Bmaj7 Dmaj7 Dbmaj7 E11 E11
Sorry babe but I have planes to catch, I'll carry on in the spring
A11 A13 Ab11 Dbmaj7 Gb11 Gb13
Now she's sighing by fireside, contemplating just what feels right
Gb13 Ab11 Gaug
Staving off this twisted world she knows
A11 A13 Ab11 Dbnaj7 Gb11
She's playing freedom, her only card, gone in a cinch and an inch, take a yard
Gb11 Ab11 Ab13 Dbmaj7 Gb11 Dbmaj7 Emaj7 A11
Deep into her fantasy she goes with wine and roses I suppose
(solo)
A11 A13 Ab11 Dbmaj7 Gb11 Gb13
Gb13 Ab11 Gaug
A11 A13 Ab11 Dbnaj7 Gb11
Gb11 Gb13 Dbmaj7 Gb11 Dbmaj7 Emaj7 A11
Abmaj7 Dbmaj7 Gbmaj7 Bmaj7 Bbmaj7
Bbm7 Dbmaj7 Gbmaj7 Bmaj7 Bmaj7 Bbm7 Eb7
Abmaj7 Gbmaj7
Back at her hotel the industry's told, brainy calypso has taken her hold
Bmaj7 Dmaj7 Dbmaj7 Bm7 E7
Hired for TV but the radio's forgotten her name
Abmaj7 Gbmaj7
Smiles I frown on, we're keeping it light, taking her LP so some brand new height
Bmaj7 Dmaj7 Dbmaj7 E11 E11
Sorry babe but I have dreams to catch let's say we call this a fling??
A11 A13 Ab11 Dbmaj7 Gb11 Gb13
There's something sacred about her tongue, she's probably singing what ain't been sung
Gb13 Ab11 Gaug
While taking out that diamond from her nose
A11 A13 Ab11 Dbnaj7 Gb11
In case she's bored now I'll syncopate, and move the project to some new state
Gb11 Ab11 Ab13 Dbmaj7 Gb11 Dbmaj7
Either way the mystery is closed, with wine and roses I suppose
Dbmaj7 Gb11 Dbmaj7
with wine and roses I suppose
Dbmaj7 Gb11 Dbmaj7
with wine and roses I suppose
Ebsus Fsus Gbsus...........

How Do You Eat Your Words?
Consumables For Writers on a Budget
I’ve discovered over time that writers are into food. We’re into cooking, restaurants, and grocery store lists. Henry Miller, Roald Dahl, and Anthony Bourdain come to mind. Sometimes we can’t afford to go out to restaurants as much as we’d like, but we still want food that tastes good and doesn’t take an entire afternoon to prepare, eating up precious time that could have been spent writing.
Here are some essential low-cost items with pretty long shelf lives to have in your kitchen while working on a project:
- Eggs
If you shop at Aldi, you can get a dozen for around $1. Add toast and butter to the mix and you have a meal that can fill you up for less than a couple dollars.
- Cheese
Yes I’m talking about the process stuff, and many of you wouldn’t even call it cheese. It can make or break a sandwich, soup, omelette, plate of nachos, or potato casserole, so always have plenty on hand. If you get it on sale, you can stock up in the freezer!!
- Frozen Pizza
It’s about the quickest and easiest hot meal that can be prepared. If you know how to shop, you shouldn’t end up paying any more than $3 per pie. Try adding some veggies and experimenting with different spices like turmeric and garlic.
- Lasagna
Aldi makes a great frozen lasagna that rivals Stouffers for less than $3. At first you don’t think it will fill you up, but once you take that last bite, you know you’re good.
- Pot Pies
They’re hot, delicious, and very inexpensive especially when you buy them on sale. Try mixing it up with beef and turkey when buying them in bulk.
- Bologna
There I said it. But when you don’t feel like spending time in the kitchen making lunch or dinner, two of these sandwiches can be thrown together with cheese, mayo, and mustard pretty quickly. It’s harder to find, but salami is sometimes priced about the same and offers a bit more in terms of flavor and texture.
- Chili
It’s a soup, meal, and condiment all in one. One of my personal favorites and a dish that I love to experiment with. Next time try adding a cup of kidney beans to thicken it up or pour it over a plate of tortilla chips.
- Chicken Patties
It’s so quick and easy to take a couple out of the freezer and make a great chicken sandwich. I like mine with mayo, mustard, pickles, and cheese, but one could just as easily add bacon to make it a club sandwich, or provolone and marinara sauce to go the chicken-parm route.
- Ice Cream
Particularly Ice Cream Sandwiches or Sundae Cones for speed and easy access. Never ever buy candy bars at the grocery store. Have you compared the price per ounce on a carton of ice cream? The cost difference is staggering. If you have a sweet tooth, the desert bill can really start to add up, so again, grab the good stuff when it goes on sale!
