Lemon Tree Kingston Trio
When [G]I was [D]just a [G]lad of ten, my [G]father [D]said to [G]me,
"Come [G]here and [D]take a [C]lesson from the lovely [D]lemon [G]tree.
Don't [C]put your [G]faith in [F]love my [C]boy," my father [G]said to [C]me.
"I [C]fear you'll [G]find that [F]love is [G]like the [F]lovely [G]lemon [C]tree."
[D7]Lemon [G]tree, [C]very [G]pretty, [C]and the [G]lemon [C]flower is [D]sweet,
But the [D]fruit of the poor lemon is im[D]possible to [G]eat.
Lemon [G]tree, [C]very [G]pretty, [C]and the [G]lemon [C]flower is [D]sweet,
But the [C]fruit [D]of the poor lemon is im[C]possi[D7]ble to [G]eat.
One [G]day be[D]neath the [G]lemon tree my [G]love and [D]I did [G]lie.
A [G]girl so [D]sweet that [C]when she [D]smiled the [C]stars rose [D]in the [G]sky.
We [C]passed that [G]summer [F]lost in [C]love be[C]neath the [G]lemon [C]tree.
The [C]music [G]of her [F]laughter [G]hid my [F]father's [G]words from [C]me.
One [G]day she [D]left with[G]out a word, she [G]took a[D]way the [G]sun.
And [G]in the [D]dark she [C]left be[D]hind, I [C]knew what [D]she had [G]done.
She [C]left me [G]for a[C]nother, it's a [C]common [G]tale but [C]true.
A [C]sadder [G]man but [F]wiser [G]now, I [F]sing these [G]words to [C]you.

The alterations I have made seem cleaner to me.
