(verse I)
And I (Am)wake up in the mornin'
With my (Am7)hair down in my (D7)eyes and she says (G)"Hi" (Gmaj7) (G6)
And I (Am)stumble to the breakfast table
While the (Am7)kids are goin' (D7)off to school (G)goodbye (Gmaj7) (G6)
And she (G7)reaches out 'n' takes my hand
And squeezes it 'n' says "How ya feelin', (C)hon?" (Cm)
And I (Am7)look across at (D7)smilin' lips
That (Am7)warm my heart and (D7)see my mornin' (G)sun (Gmaj7) (G6)
(Chorus A)
And if that's not (Am7)lovin' me (D7) (Am7)
(D7)Then all I've (Am7)got to say (D7) (Am7) (D7)
(G)God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the (Am)summertime
And there's no such thing as Doctor Seuss
Or Disneyland, and Mother Goose, no (G)nursery rhyme
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the (Am)summertime
And when my self is feelin' low
I think about her face aglow and (G)ease my mind (Am7) (D7)
(Verse II)
Some(Am)times I call her up at (Am7)home (D7)knowin' she's (G)busy (Gmaj7) (G6)
And (Am)ask her if she could get away and (Am7)meet me
(D7)And grab a (G)bite to eat (Gmaj7) (G6)
And (G7)she drops what she's doin' and she hurries down to meet me
And I'm (C)always late (Cm)
But (Am7)she sits waitin' (D7)patiently and (Am7)smiles when she first (D7)sees me
'cause she's (G)made that (Gmaj7)way (G6)
(Chorus B)
And if that ain't (Am7)lovin' me (D7) (Am7)
(D7)Then all I've (Am7)got to say (D7) (Am7) (D7)
(G)God didn't make little green apples
And it don't snow in Minneapolis when the (Am)winter comes
And there's no such thing as make-believe
Puppy dogs, autumn leaves 'n' (G)BB guns
FADE
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis
