Lemon Tree

When
D
I was
A7
just a
D
lad of ten, my father
A7
said to
D
me,
"Come here and
A7
take a
D
lesson from the
A7
lovely lemon
D
tree."
"Don't
G
put your
D7
faith in
G
love, my boy," my father
D7
said to
G
me,
"I fear you'll
D7
find that
G
love is like the lovely
D7
lemon
G
tree."
Chorus:
Lemon
D
tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is
A7
sweet,
But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to
D
eat.
Lemon
D
tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is
A7
sweet,
But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to
D
eat.
One day beneath the lemon tree, my love and I did lie,
A girl so sweet that when she smiled, the stars rose in the sky.
We passed that summer lost in love, beneath the lemon tree,
The music of her laughter hid my father's words from me.
Chorus.
One day she left without a word, she took away the sun.
And in the dark she left behind, I knew what she had done.
She left me for another, it's a common tale but true,
A sadder man, but wiser now, I sing these words to you.
Chorus.
