Chords for Jesse Winchester, Little Glass of Wine

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Traveling just doesn't permit it.
I like my cats.
[Bb] They're an inspiration to me.
I know a lot of people don't care for cats.
There's some people who don't like dogs, but there are quite a few people who do like cats.
I guess there's _ _ an attachment about cats.
_ _ _ _ [N] _
I _ [F] think that's one of the things I like about them.
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
Give you a little glimpse into the man's face. _ _ _ _
Anyway, I was sitting there this morning, or yesterday morning, I guess it was,
having my coffee and staring at the cats. _ _ _
This is not a particularly deep thought, but what in the world is that creature thinking about?
I mean, she's just sitting there. _
Not looking out the window for prey or anything like that.
There's another thing, see.
I mean, if you've ever seen a cat, _ it's horrible. _
_ _ _ It's true that they cough and prolong its agony.
It really makes you rethink your choice of form.
_ _ _ _ But anyway, _ I was thinking, what is going [F] through this animal's mind?
There's no [Bb] television, no books, no distractions of any kind that I can see.
So, I said, well, she's probably thinking, _ _ what's _ for lunch?
_ _ _ _ Gee, that's a handsome boy cat.
I'd like to _ get out in the backyard and raise a hellacious racket in the middle of the night with him.
[Bbm] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Eb] No, I don't think so, because where first_
Well, my [Bb] cats, they _ don't want food.
They really don't. _
_ _ [C] They get all they need to eat.
So, I assume that if they want anything to eat, all they have to do is get them going to the [F] kitchen to get it.
And as far as [Bb] love might go, well, you know, cats, in nature's great scheme of things,
_ cats are only _ romantically inclined, you know, for a few brief periods every so often. _
_ _ _ _ 24 hours a day, [B]
7 [Eb] days a week, _ [F] 365 days a year.
I mean, some people.
_ You may be among the group yourself, I don't know.
If you want to [Gm] raise your hand_
_ _ [F] You'll give us a report for getting work.
[Eb] _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
Little [F] Bear said, [C] well, _ _ [Bb] _ [C] it's a good thing you're here.
_ [Dm] _ [F] You're warm [D] on my [Gm] love, _ _ _ [C] _
as warm [F] as I feel.
[Dm] _ _ _ [Bb]
A [C] comfort to the fool who [Bb] _
is [G] restless in his [Gm] mind.
_ _ [Dm] _
[Em] He's a [Gm] lover with a heart of gold. _ _ _
_ [C] Little [G] Bear's of wine, [Bbm] _
_ _ [C] _ Little Bear's of [Am] wine.
_ _ _ You're [C] a boiler by [G]
flame, [C] _ _ [F] you shatter the [Gm] sunlight.
Why _ _ _ do you [F]
say, [Dm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] maybe, maybe _ tears,
_ [Gm] _ do [G] the bumblebees [Gm] supply,
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [G] stain a woman's bones,
_ _ [C] _
for a [Am] little [F] Bear's of wine.
[Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] As soon as you learn that you don't live forever,
you'll [A] be full of the fruit [Gm] of the vine.
_ _ [Eb] So here, _ [Dm] _ and [Gm] here's to [Bb] me,
and here's to the ones we have left behind.
Oh, [C] you little Bear's [F] of [Cm] wine.
_ [Gm] Oh boy, it sure [C] makes the party gay.
[C] _ _ [D]
See [F] you in the [Gm] love farm, _ [C] you'll _ chase your blues [F] [Dm] away.
_ [Bb] _
_ [C] So if you are [F] feeling _ [Cm] low,
_ _ [G] you [Bbm] want to [Bb] rest your [D] mind,
_ [Dm] well, [G] just you run and [Bb] fetch another
[Gm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ little [G] Bear's of wine.
_ _ Oh, just [C] you _ run [Gm] and _ _ [C] _
_ fetch another Bear's [F] of wine.
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
