[E] I had a silver [D] penny and an apricot [C] tree And I said to [Gm] the sailor on the [D] white key
Sailor, [E] oh sailor, [D] will you bring me [C] If I give you my penny [Gm] and my [D] apricot tree?
[E] I fenced from the [D] chewy hood, I drummed to [C] beat And a little gill [G] sawed [D] the barricade
[A] Well, he smiled and kissed me [Am] [C] strong as death [G] I saw his red tongue and I felt [D] his sweet [E] breath

Of a [Em] distant gun
