There's a warm wind blowing
             A      Bm
 through the laundromat
A         G
There's a young man
             A     D
 crying in a cowboy hat
D
He got square-toed boots,
       A         Bm
 so he ain't for real

Wouldn't last five minute

[Chorus]
D
And I remember you at
      A        Bm
 that place in Post
A        G
You were thick-cut bacon
    A     D
 on Texas toast
D
Prairie dogs popping
 A     Bm
 up to see
A    G
That strawberry woman
         A       D
sitting next to me
Bm
Strawberry woman
        G       D
sitting next to me

Monday morning,
 A       Bm
wake up slow
A      G
It was Friday night
      A      D
 two hours ago
D
I'd sell the farm to
 A       Bm
see you smile
A      G
But it might just happen
        A      D
 if we wait a while

[Chorus]
D                 A      Bm
I may go stay out in the woods
A    G
Some time apart could
 A     D
do us good
D
I've been to heaven in
   A            Bm
 a Sixth Street bar
A    G
Strawberry woman and
    A      D
 an old guitar
Bm
Strawberry woman and
    G      D
 an old guitar

D
Wеll, the highway's straight
          A          Bm
 and the night's so still
A   G          A         D
Barely havе to touch the wheel
D
But it hurts to move and
    A        Bm
it hurts to learn
A      G
I just kept on going when
   A      D
I made a wrong turn

[Chorus]
D
I remember you looking
 A     Bm
 up at me
A        G
Drinking Irish whiskey
        A     D
 on the Irish sea
D
And we walked through weather
     A                 Bm
 and we walked through time
A    G
Strawberry woman with
    A       D
 her hand in mine

Strawberry woman with
    G      D
 her hand in mine

I remember you when the
  A       Bm
bar was closed
A  G
Dancing on the table
        A      D
 with a bloody nose
D
And you still look fine
         A          Bm
 and you still look free
G
Strawberry woman with
       A       D
your back to me

Strawberry woman with
     G       D
your back to me
