Wild Strawberries chords by Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon Lightfoot - Wild Strawberries





CAPO: 4th Fret




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

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


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


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


VERSE 4::

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


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


INSTRUMENTAL:: G  C  G  C  G  C  G  C  G  C  G  C  Em


VERSE 5::
                          F
People always ask why the world is on the slide
Em                       F    Em
People like you and like me
                                F
Is it really true there will be no place left to hide
G                     Am             G     F   C
Turning to the upside, when does the fun begin


VERSE 6::

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


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