Tom: D
D A Bm A G D Em A
[Verse 1]
D
That backstop on the old ballfield's
Bm7 D
Made from grade-A Pennsylvania steel
G D Em7 A
It's been sittin' there since 1951
D
And that Shell's been on the corner
Bm7 D
Since Coke was glass and gas was a quarter
G D Em7
And that water tower's seen ten thousand suns
[Pre-Chorus]
A D Bm7
You start thinkin' you can love her that long
A G D Em7 A
And fix you up a little ranch house home
[Chorus]
G D A G
Some things just keep on gettin' better with time
D A G
That Chevrolet still tears up clay, but lost its shine
D A Em
And she'll crank that radio and sing "Strawberry Wine"
D G
And when you fall in love, there's a cloud of dust
A D A Bm7 A G D Em7 A
And a dream that's made of American rust
[Verse 2]
D
And that diamond ring your grandpa gave
Bm7 D
To grandma way back in the day
G D Em7 A
Is the one you're bound to use when you find the one
D
And that church bell that they rang back then's
Bm7 D
The same one they'll be ringing when
G D Em7
You both say that you do until life's done
[Pre-Chorus]
A D Bm7
And fix you up a little ranch house home
A G D Em7 A
Makin' babies 'til you have to add on and on and on, yeah
[Chorus]
G D A G
Some things just keep on gettin' better with time
D A G
That Chevrolet still tears up clay, but lost its shine
D A Em
And she'll crank that radio and sing "Strawberry Wine"
D G
And when you fall in love, there's a cloud of dust
A G
And a dream that's made of American rust
[Bridge]
G A
Friday night tears, yellow school bus
G
Bud light beers and blue clear skies
A
Green John Deeres, ain't it just like us
G A
To stick around here like American rust
G
Mmm, American rust
[Chorus]
G D A G
Some things just keep on gettin' better with time
D A G
That Chevrolet still tears up clay, but lost its shine
D A Em
And she'll crank that radio and sing "Strawberry Wine"
D G
And when you fall in love, there's a cloud of dust
A D A Bm7
And a dream that's made of American rust
A G
Mmm, American rust
