[Gm] [E] [Bb] [C]
I was once out [Bb] [Gm] strolling one very hot summer day [Bb] when I thought [F] I'd lay myself down [Bb] to
rest
[C] in a [F] big [Bb] field of tall [Gm] grass.
I lay there in the [C] sun [D] and felt it caressing my [C] face [Bb] as I fell asleep
[C] [F] and dreamed.
[C] [Bb]
[C] [Eb] I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie [E] and that I was the star [Bb] of the movie.
[C] This really blew my [Bb] mind,
[C] the fact that me, [Gm] an over-fat, [C] long-haired, sleeping [Gm] gnome,
should be the star of a Hollywood movie.
[Bb]
[C] There I was.
I was [F] taken to a [Gm] place, the hall of the mountain [Bb] king.
[D] I stood high upon [Gm] a mountain top, [C] [Gm] naked to the world, [Bb]
[C] in front of [Gm]
every kind of bird.
There was long ones, tall [Bb] ones, [C] short ones, brown ones, [Gm] black ones, brown ones, big ones, crazy ones.
Out of the middle
[C] came [D] a [Gm] lady.
[C] [Bb]
[Gm] [F] She [Gm] whispered in my ear something crazy.
[Bb] She [C] said,
[Gm] [C] Do I look like [Bb]
[Em] [Bb] [E] [Bb]
[C] [Bb]
[C] her?
[F] I could feel hot [Bb] flames [C] of fire roaring at my [Bb] [C] back.
[Bb]
[C] As she [Bb] disappeared, [C] but soon [Gm] she returned.
In her hand was a bottle of [C] wine, [Bb]
[C] in the other a [Bb] [C] glass.
[Gm]
[C] She [F] poured [Gm] some of the wine [Bb]
[C] bottle into the glass [Bb] [C] [Bb]
and [C] raised [Gm] it to her lips.
[C] And just [Gb] before she [Gm] drank it, [Bb]
[C] she [Gm] said,
Take [C] the wine, [Bb] take [E] that girl.
Take the wine, [Bb] take [C] that girl.
[Bb]
[E] [Gm] [E] [Bb]
[C] [Gm] [E] [Bb] [E]
It's [Dm] all [C] yours.
[Bb] [C] You gotta do it.
Take [Gm] that [C] wine.
[Bb] [C]
Let [F] me [Em] feel.
[Bbm] Let [C] me feel hot.
[F] [E] [Bb] [C]
Get on home.
[Bb] Do the wine, [C] do the wine, do the wine, do the wine, do the wine, do the wine.
[Dm] [C] [Bb] [C]
