G A7 G A7
Verse 1:
G A7 G A7
A friend brought me flowers, she said they were lilacs,
G A7 G A7
I've never been good with plants
G A7 G A7
Her next presentation, a new dictionary
G A7 A7sus4
She circled the word "romance"
G A7 G A7
So enthusiastic, a little bit drastic,
G A7 G A7
I shaved her name in my head.
G A7 G A7
As she beheld it, she said I misspelled it;
G A7
Need more be said?
Chorus:
Bm7 A7 G G G/F# Em7
These apples are delicious!
A7 N.C.
"As a matter of fact they are," she said
Bm7 A7 C
Can all this fruit be free?
Interlude:
G A7 G A7
G A7 G A7
Verse 2:
G A7 G A7
She wrote me a letter as big as a phone book
G A7 G A7
I've never been big on mail
G A7 G A7
I sent her a postcard from somewhere near Lethbridge,
G A7 A7-3 A7sus4 A7
And wondered if it still went by rail
G A7 G A7
I've never been frightened of being enlightened
G A7 G A7
But some things can go too far
G A7 G A7
Though sometimes I stammer and mix up my grammar,
G A7
You get what my meanings are
Chorus:
Bm7 A7 G G G/F# Em7
These apples are delicious!
A7 N.C.
"As a matter of fact they are," she said
Bm7 A7 C
Can all this fruit be free?
Interlude:
G A7 G A7
Bridge:
D/F# G A7 Bm7
I'm not trying to sing a love song, I'm trying to sing in tune
D/F# G A7 G A7
I know I am sometimes headstrong
D/F# G A7 Bm7
Falling in love, catching fire, I want to be consumed
D/F# G A7 G A7
Wondering will I ever tire, will I ever tire?
G A7 G A7
Will I ever tire?
Instrumental Break:
A7 A7sus4add13 A7(3) A7 x4
Chorus:
Bm7 A7 G G G/F# Em7
These apples are delicious!
A7 N.C.
"As a matter of fact they are," she said

Can all this fruit be free?
