[Intro]
G D C G C C D D

[Verse 1]
G           D          C        G
Weeds waste time, even Texas sky
        C
Holding hands with my best friend Luke
G           D                C                G
Picking blackberries, eating more than we can carry
  C
Home with our mouths stained blue

G D C G C C D D
Oooh

[Verse 2]
      G         D              C             G
Years later for willing didn’t know he was feeling
    C
The way I was feeling to you
        G             D          C       G
Till he stopped right there and out of nowhere
        C
He said girl, I think I’m falling for you

[Pre-chorus]
Am
Oooh,
        D
So many things I’ll never tell
Am
Oooh,
            D
Those seven acres know me well

[Chorus]
          G  D       C
There were dandelion wishes,
G   D       C      G
A few first kisses,
     D           C          G
Long nights of short lived love
     C                 G
That left a trail of tears
       G     D       C    G
We were carefree and crazy
      D         C        G
Those were the days we learned
      C
That life is sweet,
      C                 D
And thorns are no big deal
             G  D  C  G
Blackberry fields

[Verse 2]
G           D          C        G
Round the bonfire, everybody was wired
       C
Still buzzing from the big game win
G           D          C        G
Sixteen and green, I was caught in-between
        c
Getting out of there and giving in

[Pre-chorus]
Am
Oooh,
                 D
That beer tasted better going down
Am
Oooh,
               D
That field was my own learning ground


[Chorus]
          G  D       C
There were dandelion wishes,
G   D       C      G
A few first kisses,
     D           C          G
Long nights of short lived love
     C                 G
That left a trail of tears
       G     D       C    G
We were carefree and crazy
      D         C        G
Those were the days we learned
      C
That life is sweet,
      C                 D
And thorns are no big deal
             G  D  C  G
Blackberry fields

[Bridge]
            Am
Somehow our innocence and promises
     C
Just faded over time
      F
But I savour every memory like
      D
Those berries on the vine

[Chorus]
G   D     C
Dandelion wishes,
G    D     C
Few first kisses,
G    D           C          G
Long nights of short lived love
     C                G
That left a trail of tears.
       G     D       C       G
We were carefree and crazy
      D         C        G
Those were the days we learned
      C
That life is sweet,
      C                 D
And thorns are no big deal
             G  D  C  G  C    D
