Capo 1st Fret

Verse 1
C		          F
He was working through college
C		  G
On my grandpa's farm
C		     F
I was thirsting for knowledge
C                    G
And he had a car

Bridge 1
C				          F
Yeah, I was caught somewhere between a woman and a child
C			      F
One restless summer we found love growing wild
G			    F
On the banks of a river on a well beaten path
G			          F
It's funny how those memories they last

Like

***Chorus***
    	      C
Strawberry Wine
            G
Seventeen
	        Am
The hot July moon
	      F
Saw everything
	     C
My first taste of love 
        G
was bittersweet
	              Am
Like Green on the Vine
F               C
Strawberry Wine

Verse 2

I still remember
When thirty was old
My biggest fear was September
When he had to go

Bridge 2
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 of 


***Chorus***

Verse 3
Dm
The fields have grown over now
G7
Years since they've seen the plow
Dm
There's nothing time hasn't touched
Am		           C	
Was it really him or the loss of my innocence
G
I've been missing so much.
F        C
Yeaaaah.

Solo

C   G   Am   F

***Chorus***


The first 3 lines of  verse 3 may  sound a little awkward.  I think it's
alternation between G7 
and Dm.  I am not sure of the correct sequence.  The way it's written sound
right. You will have 
to figure out the timing for switching chords in the solo part from the
actual song.  I would like to 
thank my friend Eric Shupe for helping me with this.  If there is any
correction please notify me
