Ton : DEnglish
When EI was B7just a Elad of ten, my Efather B7said to Eme :
" Come C#mhere and take a Alesson from the B7lovely lemon E7tree.
Don't Aput your Gfaith in Alove, my Gboy, my F#mfather said to F#m(maj7)/Fme,
I A/Efear you'll find that Bm7love is like the E7lovely lemon A7tree".
Chorus
"Lemon Dtree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is A7sweet,
But the A7fruit of the lemon is impossible to Deat.
Lemon Dtree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is A7sweet,
But the A7fruit of the lemon is impossible to Deat". B7
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 :
Chorus
[Refrain :]
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 left me for another, it's a common tale but true,
A sadder man, but wiser now, I sing these words to you :
Chorus
"Lemon Dtree, very D6pretty, and the Dmaj7lemon fDlower is sA7weet,
But the A7fruit of the Em7lemon is imA7possible to Deat.
"Lemon Dtree, very D6pretty, and the Dmaj7lemon fDlower is sA7weet,
But the A7fruit of the Em7lemon is imA7possible to Deat".
