"Green Ginger Wine" By The Rumjacks on their album Gangs of New Holland. Absolutely love this song, and, assuming you can get a rough enough girl, a GREAT duet. Heh. *IMPORTANT NOTE* At the interlude, you'll notice there are repeats of the same chord. Each chord you see is the one you play on that beat of each measure. At one interlude, the chords ring for the most part. Those beats of ringing are represented by a hyphen "-". Play it with the music and you'll see what I mean. Tabs by Bradhitsbass (Vocals only for this first verse) Male: Oh kiss me Maggie & take me home, For I sure dinnae feel like dyin’ alone, Gawn geez a shot, chuck a doggie a bone, Or a penny for me rattlin’ can, D (let ring) Male: As sure as Christ it’s a bitter pill, But if you won’t have me, yer sister will, D (let ring) D (let ring) D D D I’ll cart me arse doon Surry Hills & call her out this evenin’, Interlude - DDDD GGGG DDDD AADD DDDD GGGG DDAA DDDD
