Lemon Tree
When CI was G7just a Clad of ten, my father G7said to Cme,
'Come here and G7take a Clesson from the G7lovely lemon Ctree.'
'Don't Fput your C7faith in Flove, my boy,' my father C7said to Fme,
'I fear you'll C7find that Flove is like the lovely C7lemon Ftree.'
Chorus:
Lemon Ctree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is G7sweet,
But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to Ceat.
Lemon Ctree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is G7sweet,
But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to Ceat.
One Cday be-G7neath the Clemon tree, my love and G7I did Clie,
A girl so G7sweet that Cwhen she smiled, the stars rose G7in the Csky.
We Fpassed that C7summer Flost in love, beneath the C7lemon Ftree,
The music C7of her Flaughter hid my father's C7words from Fme.
-Chorus
One Cday she G7left with-Cout a word, she took a-G7way the Csun.
And in the G7dark she Cleft behind, I knew what G7she had Cdone.
She Fleft me C7for a-Fnother, it's a common C7tale but Ftrue,
A sadder C7man, but Fwiser now, I sing these C7words to Fyou.
-Chorus
