Wine and 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+5

      Her self-indulgent silent treatment goes, with Wine and Roses I suppose


Interlude:   Abmaj7   Dbmaj7   Eb11  F11     Gb11  Eb11 


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                                 Dbmaj7        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+5

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     Gb11  Gb13

with wine and roses I suppose


Ebsus Fsus Gbsus...........

Work, Jobs, Employment, & Wealth

Work, Jobs, Employment & Wealth I've never liked the term "livable wages." That phrase is the embodiment of modern-day slavery. To me anyway, it sounds like shackle-verbiage. Or just simply eeking through day to day by skin of teeth. Just taking what "they" give you. Keeping your mouth shut. Personally? I'm gonna have to pass on that drivel like a salad that just doesn't look right in a buffet. No - we were created to live abundantly happy lives, and aside from lottery winners, individuals who legally amass a fortune do so by no secret formula, but by taking part in the reality that is Compound Interest. Simply put, millionaires diversify their investments and "live" if you will, off of the interest it generates. Yes. They've employed money. It's almost as if they put work hats and overalls on walking, talking, hundred-dollar bills to execute effective return - monthly, quarterly, yearly etc ... These folks underst...

How Do You Eat Your Words?

Food For Writers  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 alw...

Skinny Yet Sedentary: Debunking Common Myths About Diet & Exercise

Health & Wellness in Modern Times What’s the best you could hope for in life?  What is the greatest existence you could even begin to dream about right now? It could be a gorgeous home or family.  Maybe it’s unlimited earning potential or complete and total financial freedom from a career path you thought would be rewarding on every conceivable level, but in all actuality makes you physically ill.   I don’t know what that is — only YOU do!  But I do know this to be empirically true beyond a shadow of any doubt whatsoever:   Unless you work-out daily, consistently, and dynamically, you will never even begin to know or understand what that is.  You can be skinny as a rail and live a sedentary, boring life. You can also be morbidly obese, sitting on more money than a King or Queen, wondering why you seem to only be able to accomplish fantasizing about looking spectacular in the trendiest threads money c...
