[Chorus]
  E                 C#m          F#m           B
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
       E          C#m               F#m              B
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
    E        E7            A        F#m
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
E        C#m         F#m          B       E
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today
 
 
[Verse 1]
E           C#m       F#m        B
I'll be a dandy, and I'll be a rover
E                 C#m        F#m          B
You'll know who I am by the songs that I sing
       E            C#m          F#m           B
I'll feast at your table, I'll sleep in your clover
      A           B             E     B
Who cares what tomorrow shall bring
 
 
[Chorus]
  E                 C#m          F#m           B
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
       E          C#m               F#m              B
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
    E        E7            A        F#m
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
E        C#m         F#m          B       E
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today
 
 
[Verse 2]
E             C#m            F#m       B
I can't be contented with yesterdays glory
E                 C#m     F#m         B
I can't live on promises winter to spring
E            C#m    F#m         B
Today is my moment, now is my story
       A             B            E     B
I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing
 
 
[Chorus]
  E                 C#m          F#m           B
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
       E          C#m               F#m              B
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
    E        E7            A        F#m
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
E        C#m         F#m          B       E
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today

[Chorus]
  E                 C#m          F#m           B
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
       E          C#m               F#m              B
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
    E        E7            A        F#m
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
E        C#m         F#m          B       E
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today

Superb chords of this classic great song. Dad plays it on guitar when i was just a kid. Now I play it as a lullaby for my kids. Thank you very much for sharing your talent.

Just joined. Brushing up my skills after 60 years. Much easier than sheet music. Sore fingers but will be back!
