And I (Am)wake up in the (Am)morn ing with my (A)hair down in my (D7)eyes and she says, (G6)“Hi.”

And I (Am)stum ble to the (Am)break fast ta ble while the (A)kids are go ing (D7)off to school, good (G6)bye.

And she (G7)reach es out an’ takes my hand, squeez es it, says, “How you feel in’, (C6)hon?”

And I (Am7)look a cross at (D7)smil ing lips that (Am7)warm my heart and (D7)see the morn ing (G6)sun.

And if that’s not (Am7)lov in’ me,

then all I’ve (Am7)got to say,

(G)God did n’t make lit tle green ap ples, and (Gmaj7)it don’t rain in In dian ap’ lis in the (Am7)sum mer time.

There’s (Am7)no such thing as (D7)Doc tor Seuss, (Am7)Dis ney land, and (D7)Moth er Goose is no (G6)nurs ’ry rhyme.

(G)God did n’t make lit tle green ap ples, and (Gmaj7)it don’t rain in In dian ap’ lis in the (Am7)sum mer time.

And (Am7)when my self is (D7)feel in’ low I (Am7)think a bout her (D7)face a glow to (G6)ease my mind.

Some (Am7)times I call her (D9)up at (Am7)home

And (Am7)ask if she could (D7)get a way and (Am7)meet me

And (G7)she drops what she’s do in’ and hur ries down to meet me and I’m (C6)al ways late.

But (Am7)she sits wait ing (D7)pa tient ly and (Am7)smiles when she first (D7)sees me ’cause she’s (G6)made that way.

(G)God did n’t make lit tle green ap ples and (Gmaj7)it don’t rain in In dian ap’ lis in the (Am7)sum mer time.

(G)God did n’t make lit tle green ap ples and (Gmaj7)it don’t rain in In dian ap’ lis in the (Am7)sum mer time.
