Clare Valley

Bm Am D G Cmaj7 Driving home toward the vines Bm7 Am7 Linking arms ‘cross the hill G Am7 C D Evening light is dying into shadow G Cmaj7 Winding up my window Bm7 Am7 To keep out the cold night air G Am7 C D Passing time with memories I follow Dm7 G Old town days in Clare Valley Dm7 C Misty mornings by the stream Bm7 Am7 D Leading me back home G Cmaj7 Seven hill college out of the past Bm7 Am7 Where we thought that monks wore robes G Am7 C D You hid in the crypt and listened in the chapel G Cmaj7 Musty vintage wine barrels Bm7 Am7 Hidden from the sun G Am7 C D And echoes in the sunless lit by candles G Cmaj7 We were sipping wine at Stanley’s Bm7 Am7 And pretending we could tell G Am7 C D The reds and whites, the cabernet and riesling G Cmaj7 Taking home some bottles Bm7 Am7 Tasting by the fire G Am7 C D And adding to the warm glow we were feeling Dm7 G Old town days in Clare Valley Dm7 C Misty mornings by the stream Bm7 Am7 D Leading me back home G Cmaj7 Most lazy summer afternoon Bm7 Am7 Spent looking for a breeze G Am7 C D We climbed up to spring gully and found a mountain G Cmaj7 Saw the gulf across the coast Bm7 Am7 Saw the sun glimpse on the sea G Am7 C D The sunset blew a kiss cool as a fountain G Cmaj7 Cool winds turned by leaves to gold Bm7 Am7 As the grapes are carried home G Am7 C D And crushed into the mellow juice of vintage wine G Cmaj7 Life’s spent late into the night Bm7 Am7 As the young wine turns to old G Am7 C D Flavored by the rich perfume of time Dm7 Old town days Dm7 G Old town days in Clare Valley Dm7 Misty mornings Dm7 C Misty mornings by the stream Bm7 Am7 Leading me back home G Back home
