Labelled With Love
Squeeze
She [D]unscrews the top off her new whisky bottle
She [D]hobbles about in her candlelit [A]hovel
Like [A]some kind of witch, with blue fingers in mittens
She [A]smells like a cat, and the neighbours she [D]sickens Her [D]black and white TV has long seen a picture
The [D7]cross on the wall is a permanent [Em]fixture
The [A]postman delivers the final reminders
She [A]sells off her silver, and [G]poo[F#m]dles [Em]in [D]china
Chorus:
[D]Drinks to remember I, me and my[E7]self
[A]Winds up the clock, and knocks dust from the [D]shelf
Home is a love that I miss very [E7]much
So the [A]past has been bottled, and [G]la[F#m]belled [Em]with[D]love
[D]During the wartime an American pilot
[D]Made every air-raid a time of ex[A]citement
[A]She moved to his prairie and married the Texan
[A]She'd learn from a distance how love was a [D]lesson
[D]He became drinker and she became mother
She [D7]knew that one day she'd be one or the [Em]other
He [A]ate himself old and drank himself dizzy
[A]Proud of her features, she [G]kept [F#m]her[Em]self [D]pretty
Chorus:
[D]He like a cowboy died drunk in a slumber
[D]Out on the porch in the middle of [A]summer
[A]She crossed the ocean back home to her family
[A]But they had retired to roads that are [D]sandy
[D]She moved home alone without friends or relations
[D7]Lived in a world full of age reser[Em]vations
In her [A]moth-eaten armchair, she'd say that she'd sod all
[A]Friends who have left her, to [G]drink [F#m]from [Em]the [D]bottle
Chorus:
Slowly: So the [A]past has been bottled, and [G]la[F#m]belled [Em]with[D]love
