Intro
C G Am G F C Dm G
[Verse 1]
C
That backstop on the old ballfield's
Am7 C
Made from grade-G Pennsylvania steel
F C Dm7 G
It's been sittin' there since 1951
C
And that Shell's been on the corner
Am7 C
Since Coke was glass and gas was a quarter
F C Dm7
And that water tower's seen ten thousand suns
[Pre-Chorus]
G C Am7
You start thinkin' you can love her that long
G F C Dm7 G
And fix you up a little ranch house home
[Chorus]
F C G F
Some things just keep on gettin' better with time
C G F
That Chevrolet still tears up clay, but lost its shine
C G Dm
And she'll crank that radio and sing "Strawberry Wine"
C F
And when you fall in love, there's a cloud of dust
G C G Am7 G F C Dm7 G
And a dream that's made of American rust
[Verse 2]
C
And that diamond ring your grandpa gave
Am7 C
To grandma way back in the day
F C Dm7 G
Is the one you're bound to use when you find the one
C
And that church bell that they rang back then's
Am7 C
The same one they'll be ringing when
F C Dm7
You both say that you do until life's done
[Pre-Chorus]
G C Am7
And fix you up a little ranch house home
G F C Dm7 G
Makin' babies 'til you have to add on and on and on, yeah
[Chorus]
F C G F
Some things just keep on gettin' better with time
C G F
That Chevrolet still tears up clay, but lost its shine
C G Dm
And she'll crank that radio and sing "Strawberry Wine"
C F
And when you fall in love, there's a cloud of dust
G F
And a dream that's made of American rust
[Bridge]
F G
Friday night tears, yellow school bus
F
Bud light beers and blue clear skies
G
Green John Deeres, ain't it just like us
F G
To stick around here like American rust
F
Mmm, American rust
[Chorus]
F C G F
Some things just keep on gettin' better with time
C G F
That Chevrolet still tears up clay, but lost its shine
C G Dm
And she'll crank that radio and sing "Strawberry Wine"
C F
And when you fall in love, there's a cloud of dust
G C G Am7
And a dream that's made of American rust
G F
Mmm, American rust
C Dm A
