DG
He was working through college
DA
On my grandpa's farm
DG
I was thirsting for knowledge
DA
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
AG
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
GD
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 ChorusEm
Fields have grown over now
Em
Years since they've seen the plow
EmEm
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.
