Gordon Lightfoot - Wild Strawberries




CAPO: 4th Fret



VERSE 1::
C majorC     G+G    FF     C majorC
If I had a dollar, if I had a cent
         G+G      FF        G+G
I would play most anywhere, if it would pay my rent
    FF       G+G      FF      G+G
I'd be living on the downside in my old apartment
    C majorC  FF   G+G   E minorEm
For the rest of my days
             FF
People always ask why the world is on the run
E minorEm            FF  E minorEm
People like you and like me

VERSE 2::
              FF
Is it really true, you can really never win
G+G               A minorAm      G+G   FF
Moving to the upside, tell me when does the fun begin
C majorC
Deep as the sea and as wild as the weather
    FF        C majorC        FF       G+G
We will go, just you and me, to pick wild strawberries together
   C majorC
Or be living on our own, in a cabin in a meadow
   FF                    G+G
Or meandering alone, we can face the world forever or we'll


CHORUS::
C majorC    ~    FF      G+G       C majorC
Hit the bounding main, or be on a railroad train
    ~     FF      G+G       C majorC
Hit the boundless tide, or be on a steamboat ride
    ~    FF      G+G       C majorC
Hit the bounding main, or be on a midnight plane
    ~    FF      G+G      C majorC   E minorEm
Hit the pounding tide, or be on a rainbow ride

VERSE 3::
               FF         G+G
People often ask me just the way it must feel
                   FF    E minorEm
To be standing up here with you down there
                  FF
Let it now be known that throughout all of these years
G+G         A minorAm     G+G     FF  C majorC
I have been wearing polka dot underwear


VERSE 4::

Deep as the sea and as wild as the weather
    FF         C majorC       FF       G+G
We will go, just wait and see, to gather crab-apples together
    C majorC
And be wandering along toward a cabin in the meadow
  FF                     G+G
Or meandering alone, we can face the world together or we'll


CHORUS::
C majorC    ~    FF      G+G       C majorC
Hit the bounding main, or be on a railroad train
    ~     FF      G+G       C majorC
Hit the boundless tide, or be on a steamboat ride
    ~    FF      G+G       C majorC
Hit the bounding main, or be on a midnight plane
    ~    FF      G+G      C majorC   E minorEm
Hit the pounding tide, or be on a rainbow ride


INSTRUMENTAL:: G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC E minorEm


VERSE 5::
             FF
People always ask why the world is on the slide
E minorEm            FF  E minorEm
People like you and like me
                FF
Is it really true there will be no place left to hide
G+G           A minorAm       G+G   FF  C majorC
Turning to the upside, when does the fun begin


VERSE 6::

Deep as the sea and as wild as the weather
     FF        C majorC        FF       G+G
We might go, just you and me, to pick wild strawberries together
   C majorC
Or be living on our own, in a cabin in a meadow
    FF
And the cows will come home
              G+G
They can face the world forever and we'll


CHORUS::
C majorC    ~    FF      G+G       C majorC
Hit the bounding main, or be on a railroad train
    ~     FF      G+G       C majorC
Hit the boundless tide, or be on a steamboat ride
    ~    FF      G+G       C majorC
Hit the bounding main, or be on a midnight plane
    ~    FF      G+G      C majorC
Hit the pounding tide, or be on a rainbow ride
    ~    FF      G+G      C majorC
Hit the bounding main or be on a midnight plane
