[Intro]
Am E Dm Am

[Verse]
Am               E
My favorite plum
Am           Dm          E
Hangs so far from me
F                E
See how it sleeps
Dm7                   Dm6      E
And hear how it calls to me
C                  Em
See how the flesh
Em
Presses the skin
Gm
It must be bursting
         Dm              E
With secrets within
F                    E
I've seen the rest, yes
        Dm7           E          Am
And that is the one for me

[Verse]
Am             E
See how it shines
Am     Dm      E
It will be so sweet
F                   E
I've been so dry
Dm7                      Dm6          E
It would make my heart complete
C
See how it lays
Em
Languid and slow
Gm
Never noticing
Em             E
Me here below
F                    E
I've seen the best, yes
        Dm7           E          Am
And that is the one for me

[Bridge]
Am          Am7
Maybe a girl will take it
Am7        Am6
Maybe a boy will steal it
Dm6        E7
Maybe a shake of the bough
        Am                          F   E
Will wake it and make it fall

[Verse]
        Am              E
But my favorite plum
Am       Dm        E
Lies in wait for me
F                 E
I'll be right here
Dm7       Dm6     E
Longing endlessly
C
You'll say that I'm
Em
Foolish to trust
       Gm
But it will be mine
          Dm                E
And I know that it must
           F                   E
Cause I've had the rest, yes
        Dm7          E           Am
And that is the one for me
Dm7              E
I've had the best, yes
        F                E7         Am
And that is the one for me

[Outro]
Am E Dm Am
