[Intro]
G D C G Em D G/B C G Bm C G
[Verse I]
G D C G I was thinking back To the first time we met G D G/B C Over plangent chords In a sad vignette G D C G You were waving goodbye In a cherry red corvette Em D C And your lips were too G D C G Cherry red that is, with the sky so blue Em D G/B C It was almost mean and your eyes were too G D C G So blue that is, now I am too Em D C And my heart burns cherry red for you
[Chorus]
G Em C G Now my heart burns cherry red for you Em D C G Like a fire of beech wood, the saw don't like it Em D G C But you get some cut, one match will strike it G D C And the embers glow till the wee small hours Em D C When the old seems almost new Am G/B C G D C G Em D G/B C G Bm C G That's when my heart burns cherry red for you
[Verse II]
G D C G It was cherry red with custom flames G D G/B C At the hot rod show when the Kingsmen came G D C G And that bass guitar, it rattled my frame Em D C And it shook you too G D C G The corvette was Big Daddy Roth's design G D G/B C Get your picture for a dollar And have it signed G D C G First you got yours then I got mine Em D C And my heart burned cherry red for you
[Chorus]
G Em C G Now my heart burns cherry red for you Em D C G Like a fire of beech wood, the saw don't like it Em D G C But you get some cut, one match will strike it G D C And the embers glow till the wee small hours Em D C When the old seems almost new Am G/B C G D C G That's when my heart burns cherry red for you
[Bridge]
Am G/B C That's when my heart Burns cherry red Am G/B C My heart burns cherry red Am G/B C G D C G Em D G/B C G Bm C G That's when my heart burns cherry red for you
[Verse III]
G D C G Now that fake blue sky, It sure looks real G D G/B C Like you were goin' To California to make a deal G D C G With the God of youth, With the man of steel Em D C Waving toodle-oo G D C G Now if I was young, I might track you down G D G/B C But this old picture is all I found G D C G Now my bones are shakin', My teeth are ground down Em D C And my heart burns cherry red for you
[Chorus]
G Em C G Now my heart burns cherry red for you Em D C G Like a fire of beech wood, the saw don't like it Em D C C But you get some cut, one match will strike it G D C And the embers glow till the wee small hours Em D C When the old seems almost new Am G/B C G D C G Em D G/B C G Bm C G That's when my heart burns cherry red for you
