D G
He was working through college
D A
On my grandpa's farm
D G
I was thirsting for knowledge
D A
And he had a car
D
I was caught somewhere between
G
a woman and a child
D
When one restless summer
G
we found love growing wild
A
On the banks of the river
G
On a well beaten path
A G
It's funny how those memories can last
Chorus:
D
Like strawberry wine
A
and seventeen
Bm
The hot july moon
G
Saw everything
D
My first taste of love
A
Whoa, bittersweet
Bm
green on the vine
G D
Like strawberry wine
Verse 2:
I still remember
When thirty was old
My biggest fear was September
When he had to go
A few cards and letters
and one long distance call;
we drifted away
like the leaves in the fall
But year after year
I come back to this place
Just to remember the taste...
Repeat Chorus:
Em6
Fields have grown over now
Em7
Years since they've seen the plow
Em6 Em7
there's nothing time hasn't touched
Bm
Is it really him
D
Or the loss of my innocence
A
I've been minning so much.
Repeat Chorus:
I've checked this against a couple of my music books and it should be correct. Hope it works for ya!
