Kingston Trio - Lemon tree

When ^GI was ^Djust a ^Glad of ten, my ^Gfather ^Dsaid to ^Gme, "^GCome here^D and ta^Cke a lesson from the lo^Dvely l^Gemon tree. Don't ^Cput your ^Gfaith in ^Flove my ^Cboy," my fa^Gther sai^Cd to me. &qu^Cot;I fear yo^Gu'll find ^Fthat lov^Ge is like^F the lo^Gvely l^Cemon tree."

^D7Lemon ^Gtree, ^Cvery ^Gpretty, ^Cand the ^Glemon ^Cflower is ^Dsweet, But the ^Dfruit of the poor lemon is im^Dpossible to ^Geat. Lemon ^Gtree, ^Cvery ^Gpretty, ^Cand the ^Glemon ^Cflower is ^Dsweet, But the ^Cfruit ^Dof the poor lemon is im^Cpossi^D7ble to ^Geat.

One ^Gday be^Dneath the ^Glemon tree my ^Glove and ^DI did ^Glie. A ^Ggirl so ^Dsweet that ^Cwhen she ^Dsmiled the ^Cstars rose ^Din the ^Gsky. We ^Cpassed that ^Gsummer ^Flost in ^Clove be^Cneath the ^Glemon ^Ctree. The ^Cmusic ^Gof her ^Flaughter ^Ghid my ^Ffather's ^Gwords from ^Cme.

One ^Gday she ^Dleft with^Gout a word, she ^Gtook a^Dway the ^Gsun. And ^Gin the ^Ddark she ^Cleft be^Dhind, I ^Cknew what ^Dshe had ^Gdone. She ^Cleft me ^Gfor a^Cnother, it's a ^Ccommon ^Gtale but ^Ctrue. A ^Csadder ^Gman but ^Fwiser ^Gnow, I ^Fsing these ^Gwords to ^Cyou.
