[Verse 1]

C                        F
 He was working through college
C                 G
 On my grandpa's farm
C                     F
 I was thirstin' 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 a river on a well beaten path
     G                              F
It's funny how those memories they last


[Chorus]

                 C
Like strawberry wine
     G
Seventeen
              Am
The hot July moon
          F
Saw everything
                   C       G
My first taste of love was bittersweet
                  Am
The green on the vine
F                 C    F
 Like strawberry wine


[Verse 2]

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                             F
A few cards and letters and one long distance call
   C                      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


[Chorus]

               C
Of strawberry wine
     G
Seventeen
              Am
The hot July moon
          F
Saw everything
                   C        G
My first taste of love was bittersweet
                  Am
The green on the vine
     F           C
Like strawberry wine


[Bridge]

    Dm
The fields have grown over now
Dm
Years since the've seen the plow
Dm
 There's nothing time hasn't touched
    Am                    C
Was it really him or the loss of my innocence
G/B                   G
 I've been missing so much
        C   G   Am   F
Yeaaaaaah


[Chorus]

            C
Strawberry wine
     G
Seventeen
              Am
The hot July moon
          F
Saw everything
                   C        G
My first taste of love was bittersweet
                  Am
And green on the vine
F                 C
 Like strawberry wine
     G
Seventeen
              Am
The hot July moon
          F
Saw everything
