F G F F Dm G F/B F F G F F
Verse I:
I was Fthinking Gback
To the Ffirst time we Fmet
Over Fplangent Gchords
In a C/Esad vigneFtte
You were Fwaving goodGbye
In a Fcherry red Fcorvette
And your Dmlips were Gtoo F
Cherry Fred that Gis,
with the Fsky so Fblue
It was Dmalmost Gmean
and your C/Eeyes were Ftoo
So Fblue that Gis,
now FI am Ftoo
And my Dmheart burns Gcherry Fred for you
Chorus:
Now my Fheart burns Dmcherry Fred for Fyou
Like a Dmfire of Gbeech wood, the Fsaw don't Flike it
But you Dmget some Gcut, one Fmatch will Fstrike it
And the Dmembers Gglow till the Fwee small hours
When the Dmold seems Galmost Fnew
That's when my Dmheart burns C/Echerry Fred for you
Verse II:
It was cherry red with custom flames
At the hot rod show when the Kingsmen came
And that bass guitar, it rattled my frame
And it shook you too
The corvette was Big Daddy Roth's design
Get your picture for a dollar
And have it signed
First you got yours then I got mine
And my heart burned cherry red for you
Chorus:
Now my heart burns cherry red for you
Like a fire of beech wood, the saw don't like it
But you get some cut, one match will strike it
And the embers glow till the wee small hours
When the old seems almost new
That's when my heart burns cherry red for you
That's when my heart
Burns cherry red
My heart burns cherry red
That's when my heart burns
Cherry red for you
Verse III:
Now that fake blue sky,
It sure looks real
Like you were goin'
To California to make a deal
With the God of youth,
With the man of steel
Waving toodle-oo
Now if I was young,
I might track you down
But this old picture is all I found
Now my bones are shakin',
My teeth are ground down
And my heart burns cherry red for you
Chorus III:
Now my heart burns cherry red for you
Like a fire of beech wood, the sun don't like it
But you get some cut, one match will strike it
And the embers glow till the wee small hours
When the old seems almost new
That's when my heart burns cherry red
That's when my heart burns cherry red
That's when my heart burns cherry red for you
