behind the ritual chords

F A# F C A# F

F
drinking wine in the alley , drinking wine in the alley
A# F
making time , drinking that wine
C A# F
out of my mind in the days gone by

F
making time with sally , drinking that wine
A# F
in the days gone by , talking all out of my mind
C A# F
drinking that wine , talking all out of my mind

spin and turning in the alley , spin and turning in the alley
like a whirling dervish in the alley , drinking that wine
drinking wine , making time in the days gone by

boogie woogie child in the alley
drinking that wine , making time , talking all out of my mind
drinking wine in the days gone by , behind the ritual

behind the ritual , behind the ritual
in the days gone by , drinking that wine
making time , drinking that wine way back in time

spin and turn and rhyme in the alley
spin and turning , making up rhymes , talking all out of my mind
talking that jive , drinking that wine in the days gone by

drinking wine in the alley , drinking that wine
making time , talking all out of my mind
drinking that wine making time in the alley

behind the ritual , behind the ritual
you find the spiritual , you find the spiritual
behind the ritual in the days gone by

drinking wine in the alley , drinking wine in the alley
making time , talking all out of my mind
drinking that wine in the days gone by , days gone by

spin and turn talking that jive
spin and turn talking that jive all out of our minds
drinking that sweet wine
making time , making time in the days gone by

behind the ritual , behind the ritual
behind the ritual , behind the ritual
drinking that wine making time in the days gone by

blah , blah , blah , blah , blah , blah

blah , blah , blah , blah , blah , blah
blah , blah , blah , blah , blah , blah

blah , blah , blah , blah , blah , blah
blah , blah , blah , blah , blah , blah
behind the ritual , making time in the days gone by

in the days gone by , in the days gone by
drink that wine , making time
getting high in the days gone by , drinking that wine

getting high behind the ritual
getting high behind the ritual
drinking that wine in the days gone by

behind the ritual , behind the ritual
behind the ritual , behind that spiritual
in the days gone by drinking that wine and getting high

so high behind the ritual , so high behind the ritual
so high in the days gone by
drinking that wine making time , making time

stretching time , stretching time
drinking that wine , stretching time
stretching time in the days gone by behind the ritual

behind the ritual
