When I was just a 
A       E
lad of ten
   E       B        E
My father said to me
     E         B       A       E
Come here and take a Lesson from
    A       B      E
the Lovely lemon tree
      E        B
Don't put you faith in
A        E
Love my boy
   E       B        E
My father said to me
  E            B
I fear you'll find that
A        E
Love is like the
A       B      E
lovely lemon tree
      E           E
Lemon tree, very pretty
        E                B
And the lemon flower is sweet
        B
But the fruit of the poor lemon
   B              E
Is impossible to eat
    E      B        A     E
One day beneath the lemon tree
   E        B     E
My love and I did lie
  E       B
A girl so sweet that 
A        E
When she smiled
    E          B      E
The stars rose in the sky
      E          E
Lemon tree, very pretty
        E               B
And the lemon flower is sweet
        B
But the fruit of the poor lemon
   B             E
Is impossible to eat
   E          B      A       E
We passed the summer lost in love
  E         B     E
Beneath the lemon tree
    E     B      A        E
The music of her laughter hid
   E        B          E
My father's words from me
      E          E
Lemon tree, very pretty
        E               B
And the lemon flower is sweet
        B
But the fruit of the poor lemon
     B           E
Is impossible to eat
    E       B        A     E
One day she left without a word
    E     B       E
She took away the sun
    E      B        A      E
And in the dark she left behind
  E         B       A
I knew what she had done
    E       B    A       E
She left me for another, it's
  E      B        E
A common tale but true
  A      B       A     E
A sadder man but wiser now
  E          B        E
I sing these words to you
      E          E
Lemon tree, very pretty
        E               B
And the lemon flower is sweet
        B
But the fruit of the poor lemon
   B             E
Is impossible to eat
