F   Am

[Verse 1]
Am                           Dm         Am
Take care, young ladies, and value your wine
   Am                       Dm           Am
Be watchful of young men in their velvet prime
C                           G           C
Deeply they'll swallow from your finest kegs
     Dm         Am            Em     Am
Then swiftly be gone, leaving bitter dregs
F          G          Am
Ahhh-ah-ah-ah, bitter dregs


[Verse 2]
     Am                      Dm            Am
Your time hold precious, for youth is your gold
     Am                        Dm           Am
Your beauty, like silver, will tarnish when old
C                         G           C
Memories and dreams shall comfort you not
         Dm           Am           Em       Am
When the flow of your sweetness is gone and forgot
F          G   Em          Am
Ahhh-ah-ah-ah, gone and forgot


[Verse 3]
     Am                Dm     Am
With smiling words and tender touch
Am                    Dm          Am
Man offers little and asks for so much
   C                         G           C
He loves in the breathless excitement of night
     Dm               Am          Em           Am
Then leaves with your treasure in cold morning light
F          G   Em           Am
Ahhh-ah-ah-ah, cold morning light
