[Verse 1] ( spoken )
F C  Bb Bb  C                         F C  Bb Bb  C
I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day,
                       F C  Bb Bb  C
When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest,
     F C  Bb Bb  C
In a big field of tall grass.
F C  Bb Bb  C                       F C  Bb Bb  C
I laid there in the sun and felt it caressing my face.
 
F C  Bb Bb  C                F C  Bb Bb  C
As I fell asleep and dreamed,
          F C  Bb Bb  C
I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie,
         F C  Bb Bb  C
And that I was the star of the movie.
            F C  Bb Bb  C
This really blew my mind,
              F C  Bb Bb  C
The fact that me an overfed long haired leaping gnome,
F C  Bb Bb  C                            F C  Bb Bb  C
Should be the star of a Hollywood movie, hmmm.      1:28
 
        F C  Bb Bb  C               F C  Bb Bb  C          F C  Bb Bb  C
There I was, ummm, I was taken to a place, the hall of the mountain kings
        F C  Bb Bb  C                  F C  Bb Bb  C
I stood high upon a mountain top, naked to the world
         F C  Bb Bb  C        F C  Bb Bb  C
In front of every kind of girl, there was
     F C  Bb Bb  C
Long one's, tall ones, short ones, brown ones, 
   F C  Bb Bb  C                            F C  Bb Bb  C
Black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones
 
       F C  Bb Bb  C           F C  Bb Bb  C
Out of the middle, came a lady
                 F C  Bb Bb  C           F C  Bb Bb  C
She whispered in my ear something crazy, she said,        2:25
 
 
[Chorus]
F         C     Bb   Bb   C
Spill the wine, take that pearl
F         C     Bb   Bb   C
Spill the wine, take that pearl
F         C     Bb   Bb   C
Spill the wine, take that pearl
F         C     Bb   Bb   C
Spill the wine, take that pearl  2:41
 
 
[Verse 2] ( spoken )
F C  Bb Bb  C                        F C  Bb Bb  C
I thought to myself, what could that mean?
            F C  Bb Bb  C          F C  Bb Bb  C
Am I going crazy, or is this just a dream.
 
Now wait a minute
          F C  Bb Bb  C
I know I'm lying in a field of grass somewhere
                 F C  Bb Bb  C
So it's all in my head
     F C  Bb Bb  C      F C  Bb Bb  C
And then I heard her say one more time  3:12
 
 
[Chorus]
F         C     Bb   Bb   C
Spill the wine, take that girl
F         C     Bb   Bb   C
Spill the wine, take that girl
F         C     Bb   Bb   C
Spill the wine, take that girl
F         C     Bb   Bb   C
Spill the wine, take that girl    3:28
 
 
[Verse 3]  ( spoken )
F C  Bb Bb  C                                     F C  Bb Bb  C
I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back
                  F C  Bb Bb  C          F C  Bb Bb  C
As she disappeared, but soon she returned
         F C  Bb Bb  C
In her hand was a bottle of wine
               F C  Bb Bb  C
In the other a glass
           F C  Bb Bb  C                                  F C  Bb Bb  C
She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass
                     F C  Bb Bb  C
And raised it to her lips
                    F C  Bb Bb  C
And just before she drank it, she said  4:08
 
 
[Chorus]
F        C     Bb   Bb   C
Take the wine, take that girl
F         C     Bb   Bb   C
Spill the wine, take that girl
F         C     Bb   Bb   C
Spill the wine, take that girl, c’mon, c’mon,
F         C     Bb   Bb   C
Spill the wine, take that girl
              F C  Bb Bb  C
Take that girl,          yeah!              4:27
 
 
[Outro]
           F C  Bb Bb  C
It's on girl, all you gotta do is spill that wine
F C  Bb Bb  C           F C  Bb Bb  C                  F C  Bb Bb  C
Spill that wine, let me feel, let me feel hot, yeah! yeah! Owww, 
         F C  Bb Bb  C
Spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine, 
 
Spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine,
F C  Bb Bb  C
Take that girl!                4:54
