Lyrics

In the (G)shade of the old ap ple tree,

where the love in your (D7)eyes I could see,

when the (D7)voice that I heard, like the (G)song of the bird, seem’d to (A7)whis per sweet mu sic to me.

I could (G)hear the dull buzz of the bee,

in the blos soms as (D7)you said to me,

with a (D)heart that is true, I’ll be (G)wait ing for (C)you, in (Cm)the (G)shade (E7)of the (A7)old (D7)ap ple tree.

In the (G)shade of the old ap ple tree,

where the love in your (D7)eyes I could see,

when the (D7)voice that I heard, like the (G)song of the bird, seem’d to (A7)whis per sweet mu sic to me.

I could (G)hear the dull buzz of the bee,

in the blos soms as (D7)you said to me,

with a (D)heart that is true, I’ll be (G)wait ing for (C)you, in (Cm)the (G)shade (E7)of the (A7)old (D7)ap ple tree.

In the tree.
