From The Vine Came The Grape


  5    6   7    7    7    7    
From the vine came the grape,

-7   -6  -7    -7   -7  -7
from the grape came the wine

 -6   6  -6    -6 -6  -6    6 5 -5 6  
From the wine came a dream to a lover.

6  6   -7   -7  -7 -7  
He was back with Marie 

-6  6  -6  -6 -6 -6
on the Isle of Capri, 

 6  -5  6  6    6    -7 -7   -6 6  5 
With a million stars shining above her.

 5   6  7   7  7   7   
Once again he romanced

-7  -6   -7    -7   -7   -7
as they kissed and they danced

-6  6 -6 -6  -6   -6  6    5     -5
And he even heard wedding bells chime.

-6   -7  -8   -8   -8   -8    
From the vine came the grape,

 7   -7   7     7    7   7
from the grape came the wine

-7  -6 -7-7 -7 -7 7 -8    7
Affords only a wonderful time.

-7  -6  6  -8  8    7  
With a song in his heart.

-7 -6    6   6 6  6   6  6   6    6   6
He would sip another little glass of wine.

-7    -6   6   -8   7    8
With each sip, he would sigh,

 8  -9 8 -87-7    -8     7
"My bella Marie, you're mine."
