[Fm] When I [Bb] [Eb] was nine, [Bb] at harvest [Gm] time, [Bb] I crossed [Fm] the orchard [Bb]
wall.
[Eb] [Fm] [Gm] The moon [F] was bright, [Eb] and the [Bb] apples ripe, [Gm] Upon the [Cm] ground [Bb]
[Eb] it fell.
[F] We [Gm] filled our [F] sacks, [Eb] and we made our [Gm] way back, More adventure [Bb] still [Eb] to find,
[Fm] [Bb]
In an orchard, [Eb] [Bb] near the common, [Gm] [Bb] In the sweet, [F]
dungar [Bb] of time.
[Eb] [F]
[Bb] I [Eb] crossed the [Bb] orchard wall [Gm] again, [Bb] When I [F] was just [Bb] [Cm] thirteen.
[Bb]
[Eb] [F] [Gm] It was, [F] I think, to [Eb] be my [Bb] first drink, [Gm] Of [Bb] cider and [Eb] a heap.
[F] I [Gm] remember
[F] well, [Eb] it tasted [Bb] like hell, [Gm] And I hoped [Bb] the [C] pain [Gm] would [Eb] end soon.
[F] [Bb] In an [Eb] orchard, near [Bb] the common,
[Gm] [Bb] In the sweet [F]
dungar [Bb] of the [Cm] moon.
[Bb] [Eb] And [F]
[Bb] when I was [Eb]
twenty [Bb]-one [Gm] years old,
[Bb] I [F] married Annie [Bb] Beck.
[Eb] [F] The [Gm]
[F] apple [Eb]-blossom [Gm] from the trees, Looked better [Cm] in [Gm] [Eb] her hair.
[F] [Gm]
And when [F] the day [Eb] was [Bb] over, [Gm] We danced [Bb] away [Cm] night [Gm] through [Eb] the [F] trees.
[Bb] In an [Eb] orchard, near [Bb] the common, [Gm]
In [Bb] the sweet [F] dungar [Bb]
of the breeze.
[Eb] [Bb] [Gm]
[Bb] [F]
[Bb] [Cm] [Bb] [Eb] [F]
[Bb] I'm [Eb] eighty-one, [Bb] four children grown, [Gm] [Bb] And my [F] Annie's long [Bb] since gone.
[Eb]
[F] [Gm] My days [F] were good, [Eb] as well [D] as they should, [Gm] But it's time that I [Eb] passed on.
[F] [Gm] And when I [F] die, [Eb] I want [Bb] to lie [Gm] Beneath the [Cm] [Gm]
[Eb] whispering trees.
[F]
[Bb] In an orchard, [Eb]
near [Bb] the common, [Gm] [Bb] In the sweet [F] dungar [Bb] of the [Cm] seas.
[Bb] [Eb] [F] [Gm] And when [F] I'm gone, [Eb] may I [Bb]
be one, [Gm] With the air, and [Cm] the land, [Bb] and [Eb] the foe.
[F]
[Bb] In an orchard, [Eb]
near [Bb] the common, [Gm]
[Bb] In my sweet [F] dungar [Bb] of the home.
