C F C F 



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 
      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 the river on a well-beaten path 
     G                             F 
It's funny how those memories they last 



                C             G 
Like strawberry wine and seventeen 
             Am            F 
The hot July moon saw everything 
                  C        G/B 
My first taste of love, oh bittersweet 
                 Am  F                C    F C F 
The green on the vine like strawberry wine 



C          F 
 I still remember 
C                G 
 When thirty was old 
C                       F 
 My biggest fear was September 
C               G 
 When he had to go 
  C/E                           F 
A few cards and letters and one long-distance call 
    C/E                  F 
We drifted away like the leaves in the fall 
    G                      F 
But year after year I come back to this place 
G                    F 
Just to remember the taste 



              C             G/B 
Of strawberry wine and seventeen

The hot July moon saw everything

My first taste of love, oh bittersweet 
                 Am  F                C 
The green on the vine like strawberry wine 


 
    Dm 
The fields have grown over now, years since they've seen a plow 
Dm 
 There's nothing time hasn't touched 
   Am                   C 
Is it really him or the loss of my innocence 
G/B                      G
