Gordon Lightfoot Wild Strawberries Lyrics

CAPO: 4th Fret
VRS 1:
If I had a dollar, if I had a cent
I would play most anywhere, if it would pay my rent
I'd be living on the downside in my old apartment
For the rest of my days
People always ask why the world is on the run
People like you and like me
VRS 2:
Is it really true, you can really never win
Moving to the upside, tell me when does the fun begin
Deep as the sea and as wild as the weather
We will go, just you and me, to pick wild strawberries together
Or be living on our own, in a cabin in a meadow
Or meandering alone, we can face the world forever or we'll
HORUS:
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
VRS 3:
People often ask me just the way it must feel
To be standing up here with you down there
Let it now be known that throughout all of these years
I have been wearing polka dot underwear
VRS 4:
Deep as the sea and as wild as the weather
We will go, just wait and see, to gather crab-apples together
And be wandering along toward a cabin in the meadow
Or meandering alone, we can face the world together or we'll
HORUS:
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
INSTRUMNTL:
VRS 5:
People always ask why the world is on the slide
People like you and like me
Is it really true there will be no place left to hide
Turning to the upside, when does the fun begin
VRS 6:
Deep as the sea and as wild as the weather
We might go, just you and me, to pick wild strawberries together
Or be living on our own, in a cabin in a meadow
And the cows will come home
They can face the world forever and we'll
HORUS:
C ~ F G C
Hit the bounding main, or be on a railroad train

Hit the boundless tide, or be on a steamboat ride
~ F G C
Hit the bounding main, or be on a midnight plane

Hit the pounding tide, or be on a rainbow ride
~ F G C
Hit the bounding main or be on a midnight plane
