[Intro] G Em D G [Verse 1]
G                                   Am
 Well I spied a berry bush as I was strolling home one day

    D
And somehow it brought back the bygone days

        G                            Am
Of when you and I were berry picking many years ago

     D                        G
In a little county not so far away

    D                      G                 Bm
How well I do remember the day when we first met

Am                             D
It leaves a picture in my mind I never can forget
[Chorus]
        G                  C
We were picking berries at Old Aunt Mary's

     G          Am       G
When I picked a blushing bride

      C                       G               Em
As we strolled home together, I just wondered whether

        Am                   D
I could win you forever if I tried

        G                    C
Then at love's suggestion, I popped the question

    G         D     Em
And asked you to be mine

        C                           G                 Em
By your kisses I knew, you'd picked me and I'd picked you

   Am            G  C
At berry picking time
G C D G C D G D G Am D [Chorus]
        G                  C
We were picking berries at Old Aunt Mary's

     G
When I picked a blushing bride

      C                         G
As we strolled home together, I just wondered whether

        Am                   D
I could win you forever if I tried

        G                    C
Then at love's suggestion, I popped the question

    G         D     Em
And asked you to be mine

        C                           G                 Em
By your kisses I knew, you'd picked me and I'd picked you

   D             G  C G D
At berry picking time
[Verse 2]
G                                           C
  Well how sweet you were that day, in your simple gingham gown

   D                          G
To me you were as lovely as a Queen

                                        C
When from underneath your bonnet popped a pair of golden curls

        D                            G
And the bluest eyes that I have ever seen

     D                          G
Your lips were red as cherries, the taste was twice as sweet

Am                               D
It only took one kiss to make my happiness complete
[Chorus]
        G                  C
We were picking berries at Old Aunt Mary's

     G          Bm       G
When I picked a blushing bride

      C                         G             Em
As we strolled home together, I just wondered whether

        Am                   D
I could win you forever if I tried

        G                    C
Then at love's suggestion, I popped the question

    G         D     Em
And asked you to be mine

        C                           G                 Em
By your kisses I knew, you'd picked me and I'd picked you

   D             G C G  D             G   C G
At berry picking time.  Berry picking time.
