Version 2
G D G G D G
When I was just a lad of ten, my father said to me,
G D C D G
"Come here and take a lesson from the lovely lemon tree.
C G F C G C
Don't put your faith in love my boy," my father said to me.
C G F G F G C
"I fear you'll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree."
<chorus>:
D7 G C G C G C D
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet,
D D G
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
G C G C G C D
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet,
C D C D7 G
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
G D G G D G
One day beneath the lemon tree my love and I did lie.
G D C D C D G
A girl so sweet that when she smiled the stars rose in the sky.
C G F C C G C
We passed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree.
C G F G F G C
The music of her laughter hid my father's words from me.
<chorus>
G D G G D G
One day she left without a word, she took away the sun.
G D C D C D G
And in the dark she left behind, I knew what she had done.
C G C C G C
She left me for another, it's a common tale but true.
C G F G F G C
A sadder man but wiser now, I sing these words to you.
<chorus>
