Abraham Mackey - Strawberry Blonde

      G          Em           G          Em
This is my song ‘bout a Strawberry Blonde
          G        Em             C   Em  G
She would sing and shine like the morning sun
G            Em        G        Em
She loved to sing, all heart and soul
G           Em               C   Em  G
She had her style and it was all her own
C                           G              C                                 G
She loved to dance, and she loved to sing, she loved her man ‘most more than anything
C                          Em
She loved being young and so beautiful
        Am                            D7
And she dressed like a star and would shine for all


G          Em           G          Em
This is my song ‘bout a Strawberry Blonde 
G          Em         C     Em  G
I treasure her with a heart so fond
G          Em            G      Em
She didn’t arrive with a silver spoon
G             Em          C    Em  G
Didn’t lay in bed just to rise at noon
C                    G
She had a way with a touch of class
C                          G
And she could laugh as she downed a glass
C                        Em                Am                    D7
She treasured life in so many ways and she loved her friends for all her days


[Break]
(Chorus break twice through)


G          Em           G          Em
This is my song ‘bout a Strawberry Blonde
G         Em           C    Em   G
She was a gift from a world beyond
G           Em         G        Em
I’m glad to say that I knew her well
G       Em          C    Em     G
She had faults, but I’ll never tell
C                     G
I wish I never had to say goodbye
C                         G
My heart’s so sad it just makes me cry
C                         Em                    Am                          D7
But then my mind sees her standing there with a song in her heart and that strawberry hair.
G          Em           G          Em
This is my song ‘bout a Strawberry Blonde
          G        Em             C   Em  G
She would sing and shine like the morning sun
G          Em           G          Em
This is my song ‘bout a Strawberry Blonde
          G        Em             C   Em  G
She would sing and shine like the morning sun
