1. I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day,

G A - G - A

when I thought I'd lay myself down to rest

G A G A

in a big field of tall grass.

G - A G - A G A G - A

I laid there in the sun and felt it caressing my face,

G A - G - A G - A - G - A

as I fell asleep and dreamed.

G A G - A

2. I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie,

G A G - A

and that I was the star of the movie.

G A - G - A

This really blew my mind.

G A G - A G - A

The fact that me an overfed, long haired, leaping gnome

G A - G - A - G - A

should be the star of a Hollywood movie, hmmm.

G - A - G - A

3. But there I was.

G A - G - A

I was taken to a place,

G A - G - A

the hall of the mountain kings.

G A G - A

I stood high by the mountain tops,

G A - G - A

naked to the world,

G - A - G A G - A - G - A

in front of every kind of girl.

G A G A

4. There was long one's, tall ones, short ones, brown ones,

G A G - A - G - A - G - A

black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones.

G - A - G - A G - A - G - A

Out of the middle, came a lady,

G A - G - A

she whispered in my ear,

G - A G - A

something crazy, she said :

G A G A

+ Spill the wine, take that pearl ! (4x)

G A - G - A G - A - G - A

5. I thought to myself, what could that mean ?

G - A - G - A G - A - G - A

Am I going crazy, or is this just a dream ?

G A - G - A

Now wait a minute, I know I'm lying in a field of grass somewhere.

G A - G - A

so it's all in my head.

G - A - G - A G - A G - A

And then I heard her say one more time :

G A G A

+ Spill the wine, dig that girl ! (4x)

G A G A G - A - G - A

6. I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back,

G - A G A - G - A - G - A

as she disappeared, but soon she returned.

G A - G - A

In her hand was a bottle of wine,

G A - G - A

in the other a glass.

G A G A - G - A - G - A

She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass,

G - A - G - A

and raised it to her lips.

G A - G - A

And just before she drank it, she said :

G A G A

Take the wine, dig that girl !

G A G A

Spill the wine, dig that girl !

G A G A

Spill the wine, dig that girl !

G A G A G - A G - A

Spill the wine, dig that girl, take that girl, yeah !

G A G A G A G A

It's on, girl, all you gotta do is spill that wine, spill that wine,

G - A G A G - A - G - A

let me feel, let me feel hot, yeah ! yeah !

G A

Spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine,

G A

spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine,

G - A - G - A ….

dig that girl !
