All Her Favorite Fruit Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

DI drive alone, home from work

 And I always think of Bmher A

DLate at night I call her, but I never say a Bmword A

GBut I can see her squeeze the Bmphone between her Achin and shoulder D G

BmAnd I can Aalmost smell her Dbreath, faint, with a Gsweet scent of decayD G

DShe serves him mashed potatoes

 She serves him peppered Bmsteak, and Acorn

DPulls the dress up over her head, lets it fall to the BmfloorA

GAnd does she ever whisper Bmin his ear, Aall her favorite fruitD G

BmAnd all the Amost exotic Dplaces they are Gcultivated

DAnd I'd like to take her there, rather than this Bmtrain I'm Aon

DAnd if I weren't a civil servant, I'd have a place in the BmcoloniesA

GWe'd play croquet behind Bmwhite-washed walls and Adrink our tea at fourD G

BmWithin Aintervention's Ddistance of the Gembassy

DThe midday air grows thickerA wDith the heat

 And drifts Bmtowards the line of Atrees

DWhen negroes blink their eyeAs,D they sink into siestBma A

GAnd we are rotting like a Bmfruit underneath Aa rusting rooDf G

BmWe dream our Adreams and sing our Dsongs of love -G fecundity

 Of Dlife and loveG, of Dlife and Glove, of Dlife and Glove

(end with opening riff, then finish on D)

You may wish to play the G barred on the 3rd fret, and sometimes pick the

top three strings descending.
