(Here We Go Round) The Lemon Tree - The Move (1968)
[Verse]
E A B E
There's a girl next door to me who's round the bend
E A B E
But she wonders why she can't make any friends
A E
From her garden she could see me
A E
In her silver-clad bikini
Bm E
Singing, dancing round her fruit tree
[Chorus]
A D A
A C#m D A
Mister, can you hear me
A D A
A C#m D A
Mister, don't come near me
[Verse]
E A B E
Could I calm her down by throwing stones at her
E A B E
If only I could make the right approach to her
A E
Think I'd rather tame a tiger
A E
Turn those lemons into cider
Bm E
Still I'd like to get beside her
[Chorus]
A D A
Here we go round the lemon tree
A C#m D A
Mister, can you hear me
A D A
Here we go round the lemon tree
A C#m D A
Mister, don't come near me
[Bridge]
Ddim7 A
Three o'clock in the morning I can hear her toneless singing
A Ddim7 A
I could smell her lemon perfume in the air
Ddim7 A
I walked up to the window In the hope that I might see her
A Ddim7 A
Could the deadly shade of night still bring her there
[Chorus]
A D A
Here we go round the lemon tree
A C#m D A
Mister, can you hear me
A D A
Here we go round the lemon tree
A C#m D A
Mister, don't come near me
[Verse]
E A B E
Morning came and into action went my plans
E A B E
Went to meet her dressed in bright green underpants
A E
I crept in and sang discreetly
A E
Seemed to change her mind completely
Bm E
Danced together singing sweetly
[Chorus]
A D A
Here we go round the lemon tree
A C#m D A
Mister, can you hear me
A D A
Here we go round the lemon tree
A C#m D A
Mister, don't come near me
