Wild Strawberries Gordon Lightfoot
CAPO: 4th Fret
[VERSE 1:]
[C]If I had a [G]dollar, [F]if I had a [C]cent
I would play most [G]anywhere, if [F]it would pay my [G]rent
I'd be [F]living on the [G]downside in [F]my old apart[G]ment
For the [C]rest [F]of my [G]days[Em]
People always ask why the [F]world is on the run
[Em]People like you and like [F]me [Em]
[VERSE 2:]
Is it really true, you can [F]really never win
[G]Moving to the upside, tell me [Am]when does the [G]fun be[F]gin
[C]Deep as the sea and as wild as the weather
We will [F]go, just you and [C]me, to pick wild [F]strawberries to[G]gether
Or be [C]living on our own, in a cabin in a meadow
Or me[F]andering alone, we can face the world for[G]ever or we'll
[CBORUS:]

Hit the pounding tide, or be on a rainbow ride
[VERSE 3:]
People often ask me just the [F]way it must feel [G]
To be standing up here with you down [F]there [Em]
Let it now be known that throughout [F]all of these years
[G]I have been wearing[Am] polka dot [G]underwear[F] [C]
[VERSE 4:]
Deep as the sea and as wild as the weather
We will [F]go, just wait and [C]see, to gather [F]crab-apples to[G]gether
And be [C]wandering along toward a cabin in the meadow
Or [F]meandering alone, we can face the world to[G]gether or we'll

[VERSE 5:]
People always ask why the [F]world is on the slide

[G]Turning to the upside,[Am] when does the [G]fun be[F]gin[C]
[VERSE 6:]
Deep as the sea and as wild as the weather
We might [F]go, just you and [C]me, to pick wild [F]strawberries to[G]gether

And the [F]cows will come home
They can face the world for[G]ever and we'll
