1. I`m sitting here in a boring room,

          Am                                    Em

    it`s just another rainy Sunday afternoon.

           Am                               Em                                                            

    I`m wasting my time, I got nothing to do,

            Am                              Em

    I`m hanging around, I`m a-waitin` for you,

          Dm                            Em           Am         Em-G-Am

   but nothing ever happens   -   and I wonder.

 

            Am               Em                     

2. I`m driving around  in  my car,

            Am                          Em

    I`m driving too fast, I`m driving too far.

          Am                       Am                   

    I`d like to change my point of view,

       Am                           Em

    I feel so lonely, I`m a-waitin` for you,

           Dm                             Em            Am           Em-G-Am

    but nothing ever happens    -    and I wonder.

 

    C                    G                 

I wonder how, I wonder why ,

  Am                                            Em

yesterday you told me `bout the blue, blue sky,

        F                  G                           C                  - G

and all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree.

        C                      G                          

I`m turning my head up and down,

       Am                                             Em

I`m turning, turning, turning, turning, turning around,

        F                  D                           G

and all that I can see is just another lemon tree.    

     Am  Em                       Am         Em

            Am               Em                             

3. I`m sitting here, I miss the power,

          Am                 Em

    I`d like to go out, taking a shower.

            Am                              Em                       

    But there`s a heavy cloud inside my head,

       Am                         Em

    I feel so tired, put myself into bed,

                Dm                            Em           Am       Em-G-Am

    where nothing ever happens    -   and I wonder.

 

E                  Am                                      

    Isolation,  is  not good for me.

G                 C                        E7

    Isolation, I don`t want to       sit on a lemon tree.

 

           Am                           Em                

4. I`m stepping around in a desert of joy,

     Am                             Em

    baby, anyhow I`ll get another toy,

            Dm                             Em                    Am     Em-G-Am

    and everything will happen    -    and you`ll wonder.

 

                                        

+ CHORUS     

 

        C                    G              

    I wonder how, I wonder why,

     Am                                             Em

    yesterday you told me `bout the blue, blue sky,

            F                   G             F                   G

    and all that I can see ,  and all that I can see,

            F                  G                                 C

    and all that I can see  -   is just a yellow lemon tree.
