Lemon Tree piano leadsheet with chords

When I was just a lad of ten my father said to me,

"Come here and take a lesson from the lovely lemon tree.

Don't put your faith in love my boy!"

my father said to me.

"I fear you'll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree."

Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet,

but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.

Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet,

but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.

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:

Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet,

but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.

Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet,

but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.

One eat.

Lemon tree, lemon tree, lemon tree,

lemon tree.
