Refrain:
C Am F G
Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine,
C Am F G
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine;
C C7 F Dm7
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
C Am F G C
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine today.
C Am F G
I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover,
C Am F G
You'll know who I am by the song that I sing.

I'll feast at your table, I'll sleep in your clover,
F G C G
Who cares what tomorrow may bring.
