This is a classic that has been covered by many performers (UB40 had a global

It's a bit shorter...

E    E   A    D   E7            A    D
Red, red wi - i - ine, go to my head
E           A          D                 A    E7
Makes me forget that I... still need you so


VERSE:
         A    D  E7            A   D
Red, red wine,      it's up to you
          A             D
All I can do, I've done
               A   D
Memories won't go
                   A   E7
No, memories won't go


CHORUS: 
       E           A
I have sworn every time
            D                  A
Thoughts of you would leave my head
      E            A
I was wrong, now I find
         D                 E
Just one thing makes me forget


VERSE:
Red, red wine, stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
It's tearing apart
My blue, blue heart


[repeat CHORUS]


VERSE:
Red, red wine stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
It's tearing apart
              A     D  E7
My blue, blue heart.


[end on D - A - E7 - A]  [single arpeggios]
