Full Song

Verse 1

D G

He was working through college on my grandpa’s farm

Bm A

I was thirsting for knowledge and he had a car

D G

I was caught somewhere between a woman and a child

Bm A

When one restless summer we found love growing wild

Chorus

G A D

Strawberry wine, seventeen

G A Bm

The hot July moon saw everything

G A D

My first taste of love, oh bittersweet

G A D

Green on the vine, like strawberry wine

Verse 2

D G

I still remember when thirty was old

Bm A

And my biggest fear was September when he had to go

D G

A few cards and letters and one long distance call

Bm A

We drifted away like the leaves in the fall
