Lemon Tree

Peter, Paul and Mary

        D      A      D                    A       D
1. When I was just a lad of ten my father said to me:
                   A      Hmi     Hmi/A   G      A      D
   "Come here and take a lesson from the lovely lemon tree
          G        F        G       F      G       F       Emi
   don't put your faith in love my boy" my father said to me
       D#                    G                Ami    D      G
   "I fear you'll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree."
              C                                        G7
R: [: Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
                                                       C      A7
      but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat. :]
2. 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:
R:
3. 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'd left me for another it's a common tale but true
   a sadder man but wiser now I sing these words to you:
      G7     C   G7     C
R: + lemon tree lemon tree ...
