Strawberry wine Ryan Adams
This song is real simple. Sounds fine with one guitar even though there are a few
guitars on the recording. The intro might not be exactly the way its played but the idea is
and it sounds ok.

[] = SINGLE NOTE
Verse 1:
Last night in the street collapsed on itself G
In fact, it broke right in two C Am
And I fell in Em
The strawberry vines G
Into a pool of strawberry wine C Am
Strawberry wine and clouds G [F] G [F] G
Burning in the desert, surrounded in flowers C Am
But the stems brake the armor Em
And the morning comes G
Until its all just the same things again C Am
Pre:
Don't spend too much time on the other side D Am
Let the daylight in, D Am
Chorus:
Before you get old and you cant break out of it G
My old friend, C Am
Cause its getting winter, and if you want any flowers G
You gotta get your seeds in C Am
And I worry about you, D Am G
why? because you want me to D Am G
Verse 2:
Can you still have any famous last words
If you're nobody somebody nobody knows,
I don't know
Somebody go and ask Clair
She's been dead twenty years just look at her hair
Strawberry blonde with curls
She gets hair done then she gossips
With the younger waitress girls at the bar
The old Irish rose
Drinking strawberry wine
Until it comes out her nose
Pre:
She spent too much time on the other side,
And she forgot to let the daylight in
Chorus:
Before you get old you'd better break out of it
My old friend,
Cause its getting winter and if you want any flowers
You gotta get your seeds in to the ground,
And I worry about you,
Why because you want me too
Verse 3:
This fella downtown, he jumped off a bridge
He was angry about a letter he received from his friend
He fell in
To the arms of the most beautiful girl
That have ever lived in the history of the world
And with nothing left to lose he got screwed
He sold his apartment before they made him move
Then he jumped straight in
To the san Francisco bay
Now he lives on Molly's farm
Picking berries all day
Pre:
Don't spend too much time on the other side
Let the daylight in
Verse 4:
Marty was a kid when he learned to steal boats
His dad was a deejay on the radio
He fell in
To a life
Of riverboat nÂ’ crime
Now has the man you see in prison
If you want strawberry wine
Strawberry wine and smokes
He sent a letter to his friend
Explaining one night on coke
He and Clair
Jumped in to the strawberry vines
And lord knows you get lost
On that strawberry wine
Final Chorus:
Don't spend too much time on the other side, D Am
Let the daylight in D Am
And IÂ’m getting old and I gotta break out of it G
My old friend, C Am
Cause its getting winter and if I want any flowers G
I gotta get those seeds in to the ground, C Am
And if you worry about me D Am G
Don't bother D
Why? Am Am
Ill be fine C
Imp just sitting here laughing D
Little old me and my Am C D
Strawberry wine G [D] Em C
G [D] Em C
