D#A#7D#D#A#7D#
When I was just a lad of ten, my father said to me
D#A#7D#D#A#7D#
"Come here and take a lesson from the lovely lemon tree"
G#D#7G#G#D#7G#
"Donʼt put your faith in love, my boy" my father said to me
G#D#7G#G#D#7G#
"I fear youʼll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree"
Chorus:
D#A#7
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet
A#7A#7D#
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
D#A#7
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet
A#7A#7D#
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
D#A#7D#D#A#7D#
One day beneath the lemon tree, my love and I did lie
D#A#7D#D#A#7D#
A girl so sweet that when she smiled, the stars rose in the sky
G#D#7G#G#D#7G#
We passed that summer lost in love, beneath the lemon tree
G#D#7G#G#D#7G#
The music of her laughter hid my fatherʼs words from me
Chorus:
D#A#7
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet
A#7A#7D#
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
D#A#7
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet
A#7A#7D#
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
D#A#7D#D#A#7D#
One day she left without a word, she took away the sun
D#A#7D#D#A#7D#
And in the dark she left behind, I knew what she had done
G#D#7G#G#D#7G#
She left me for another, itʼs a common tale but true
G#D#7G#G#D#7G#
A sadder man, but wiser now, I sing these words to you
Chorus:
D#A#7
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet
A#7A#7D#
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
D#A#7
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet
A#7A#7D#
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
