Mantle for the Core - chords, tab and comments

Lyrics without distraction HERE

I called a girlfriend once, cause I felt terribly lonesome. I invited her for dinner, and made the best I could. She said "I'll be there". She never came. I ate the entrecĂ´te myself, sipped the wine and forgot about her both as a friend or whatever I was dreaming of. The beef tasted good, though, and the chandeliers I lit gave some inspiration to these lines of confusion. I'm not proud of them. I stole "grapes upon the vine" from Cohen, and about the "mantle and the core" you are free to discuss; I leave it on the snow. I was missing something essential, that is.
G                 Gmaj7       Cadd9
I told her get a cab and come over
      G              Am              D7
can't be so hard to catch one right now
G             G/F#        Cadd9
no need for crimson and clover
      G               C        D7
and shields will not matter anyhow
         G
but the taxi never came
         Gmaj7
and the cars went all the same
      Bm                  Ddim7
they came quite near and shifted gear
     C        Gdim7     D7
and just went down the lane
G             Gmaj7           Cadd9
ain't got no grapes upon the vine no more
C              D7            G
ain't got no mantle for the core
