Intro
A E F#m E D A Bm E
[Verse 1]
A
That backstop on the old ballfield's
F#m7 A
Made from grade-E Pennsylvania steel
D A Bm7 E
It's been sittin' there since 1951
A
And that Shell's been on the corner
F#m7 A
Since Coke was glass and gas was a quarter
D A Bm7
And that water tower's seen ten thousand suns
[Pre-Chorus]
E A F#m7
You start thinkin' you can love her that long
E D A Bm7 E
And fix you up a little ranch house home
[Chorus]
D A E D
Some things just keep on gettin' better with time
A E D
That Chevrolet still tears up clay, but lost its shine
A E Bm
And she'll crank that radio and sing "Strawberry Wine"
A D
And when you fall in love, there's a cloud of dust
E A E F#m7 E D A Bm7 E
And a dream that's made of American rust
[Verse 2]
A
And that diamond ring your grandpa gave
F#m7 A
To grandma way back in the day
D A Bm7 E
Is the one you're bound to use when you find the one
A
And that church bell that they rang back then's
F#m7 A
The same one they'll be ringing when
D A Bm7
You both say that you do until life's done
[Pre-Chorus]
E A F#m7
And fix you up a little ranch house home
E D A Bm7 E
Makin' babies 'til you have to add on and on and on, yeah
[Chorus]
D A E D
Some things just keep on gettin' better with time
A E D
That Chevrolet still tears up clay, but lost its shine
A E Bm
And she'll crank that radio and sing "Strawberry Wine"
A D
And when you fall in love, there's a cloud of dust
E D
And a dream that's made of American rust
[Bridge]
D E
Friday night tears, yellow school bus
D
Bud light beers and blue clear skies
E
Green John Deeres, ain't it just like us
D E
To stick around here like American rust
D
Mmm, American rust
[Chorus]
D A E D
Some things just keep on gettin' better with time
A E D
That Chevrolet still tears up clay, but lost its shine
A E Bm
And she'll crank that radio and sing "Strawberry Wine"
A D
And when you fall in love, there's a cloud of dust
E A E F#m7
And a dream that's made of American rust
E D
Mmm, American rust
A Bm A
