STRAWBERRY WINE
As recorded by The Band
(From the 1970 Album STAGE FRIGHT)
[Intro]
A B7
[Verse 1]
E
I would try my finger and I would try my hand
E7
At any fool game in this man's land
A7 E
But don't you talk about this-a friend of mine,
B7 A E7
I ain't never been let down and you'd be wastin' time.
[Verse 2]
E
I would scratch and steal, I would maim a man,
E
I would even run the bounty across the other country,
A E
So don't you talk about this here friend of mine,
B A E
I gave it all of my money, but it makes me feel fine.
[Bridge]
E
Yeah, I know you won't give me no peace of mind,
E7 A7
Try to understand I just wanna feel good all the time.
E
Don't you talk about a dear old friend of mine,
B7
Well, I know that you are sweet and more than double fine.
B7
Everybody said you oughta marry that rich man down the line,
B7
But if I had to make a choice I wouldn't change my mind.
A E A E
Honey, you just ain't as sweet as my strawberry wine.
[Interlude]
A E A E A
B7
[Verse 3]
B E
Yeah, you caught me when I's down a-sleepin' in the park,
E
Climbin' up the walls and laughin' in the dark.
A E7
But I heard you been talkin' about a dear old friend of mine,
B7 A E7
Never tasted anything as sweet as my strawberry wine.
[Outro]
E A E A E
Oh no no
