[Verse 1] ( spoken )
F C Bb Bb C F C Bb Bb C
I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day,
F C Bb Bb C
When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest,
F C Bb Bb C
In a big field of tall grass.
F C Bb Bb C F C Bb Bb C
I laid there in the sun and felt it caressing my face.
F C Bb Bb C F C Bb Bb C
As I fell asleep and dreamed,
F C Bb Bb C
I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie,
F C Bb Bb C
And that I was the star of the movie.
F C Bb Bb C
This really blew my mind,
F C Bb Bb C
The fact that me an overfed long haired leaping gnome,
F C Bb Bb C F C Bb Bb C
Should be the star of a Hollywood movie, hmmm. 1:28
F C Bb Bb C F C Bb Bb C F C Bb Bb C
There I was, ummm, I was taken to a place, the hall of the mountain kings
F C Bb Bb C F C Bb Bb C
I stood high upon a mountain top, naked to the world
F C Bb Bb C F C Bb Bb C
In front of every kind of girl, there was
F C Bb Bb C
Long one's, tall ones, short ones, brown ones,
F C Bb Bb C F C Bb Bb C
Black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones
F C Bb Bb C F C Bb Bb C
Out of the middle, came a lady
F C Bb Bb C F C Bb Bb C
She whispered in my ear something crazy, she said, 2:25
[Chorus]
F C Bb Bb C
Spill the wine, take that pearl
F C Bb Bb C
Spill the wine, take that pearl
F C Bb Bb C
Spill the wine, take that pearl
F C Bb Bb C
Spill the wine, take that pearl 2:41
[Verse 2] ( spoken )
F C Bb Bb C F C Bb Bb C
I thought to myself, what could that mean?
F C Bb Bb C F C Bb Bb C
Am I going crazy, or is this just a dream.
Now wait a minute
F C Bb Bb C
I know I'm lying in a field of grass somewhere
F C Bb Bb C
So it's all in my head
F C Bb Bb C F C Bb Bb C
And then I heard her say one more time 3:12
[Chorus]
F C Bb Bb C
Spill the wine, take that girl
F C Bb Bb C
Spill the wine, take that girl
F C Bb Bb C
Spill the wine, take that girl
F C Bb Bb C
Spill the wine, take that girl 3:28
[Verse 3] ( spoken )
F C Bb Bb C F C Bb Bb C
I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back
F C Bb Bb C F C Bb Bb C
As she disappeared, but soon she returned
F C Bb Bb C
In her hand was a bottle of wine
F C Bb Bb C
In the other a glass
F C Bb Bb C F C Bb Bb C
She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass
F C Bb Bb C
And raised it to her lips
F C Bb Bb C
And just before she drank it, she said 4:08
[Chorus]
F C Bb Bb C
Take the wine, take that girl
F C Bb Bb C
Spill the wine, take that girl
F C Bb Bb C
Spill the wine, take that girl, c’mon, c’mon,
F C Bb Bb C
Spill the wine, take that girl
F C Bb Bb C
Take that girl, yeah! 4:27
[Outro]
F C Bb Bb C
It's on girl, all you gotta do is spill that wine
F C Bb Bb C F C Bb Bb C F C Bb Bb C
Spill that wine, let me feel, let me feel hot, yeah! yeah! Owww,
F C Bb Bb C
Spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine,
Spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine,
F C Bb Bb C
Take that girl! 4:54
