[Bb] [F] [Bb] [F] [Bb] [F] [Bb]
I was [F] just a [Bb] little [F] tin, my [Bb] father said [F] to [Bb] me
[F] Come [Bb] here and [Bb] take a lesson from [C] the [F] lovely lemon tree
[Dbm] [Eb] Put [Bb] your faith [Eb] in love, my [Bb] boy, [Eb] my father [Bb] said to [Eb] [Bb] me
I [Eb] fear you'll find that love is like the [Bb] lovely lemon tree
The [F] lemon [Bb] tree is [F] very [Bb] pretty [F] and the lemon [Bb] is [C] flowery sweet
[Gm] But the fruit of the poor lemon [C] is [Gm] [F] impossible [Bb] to eat
[F] The lemon [Bb] tree [F] is very [Bb] pretty [F] and [Bb] the lemon is [C] flowery sweet
But the fruit of the poor [Gm] lemon [C] is [Gm] impossible [F] to [Bb] [F] eat
[Bb] [F]
[Bb] Beneath the [F] lemon tree [Bb] one day my love and I [F] did [F] lie
[Bb] Our girl [F] so sweet [Bb] that when she smiled [C] the stars [F] rose in the sky
[Bb] [Eb] We passed [Bb] the summer [Eb] lost in [Bb] love [Eb] beneath [Bb] the lemon [Eb] tree
[Bb] The [Eb] music [Bb] of her laughter [Eb] hid my [F] father's words [Bb] from [F] me
The lemon [Bb] tree is [F] very [Bb] pretty [F] and the lemon [Bb] is [Bb] flowery sweet
[C] [Gm] But the fruit [C] of the [Gm] poor lemon [C] is [Gm] [F] impossible [Bb] to eat
The lemon tree [F] is very [Bb] pretty and the lemon is [F] flowery [Bb] sweet
[C] But [Gm] the fruit of [C] the poor [Gm] lemon [C] is [Gm] impossible [F] to [Bb] eat
One [F] day she left [Bb] without a [F] word, she took away the [Bb] sun
[F] And in the dark she left behind, [Gm] I knew [F] what she [Bb] had done
[Eb] She left [Bb] me for [Eb] another, [Bb] it's [Eb] a common [Bb] tale but [Eb] true
[Bb] [Eb] Sad a [Bb] tale but wiser [Eb] now, I [F] sing this [Bb] song for you
[F] The lemon tree is very [Bb] pretty [F] and the [Bb] lemon is [C] flowery [Gm] sweet
But the fruit of the [C] poor lemon [Gm] [C] is [Gm] impossible [F] to eat
[Bb] The lemon tree is very pretty and the lemon [C] is flowery sweet
[Bb] [Gm] But the fruit [C] of the [Gm] poor lemon is [F] impossible [Bb] to eat
The lemon tree is very pretty and the lemon [C] is [Gm] flowery sweet
[C] But [Bb] the brutal [C] uproar [Gm] in London is [C] impossible [Gm] [F] to [Bb] ease.
