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