Watermelon Dream

          E                        
Well, the sun was hot and the dust 
             A
rose up like smoke
      B                            
So we hid beneath the elm tree and 
                         E
watched the watermelons float
E                  E7
There in a big 'ol tub of ice
          A                    
And we'd split 'em open with a 
Bbdim7
kitchen knife
    E         C#7                 
And everybody had a slice, it was 
  F#7  B     E
a watermelon dream

[Chorus]
E                          
Ain't nothin' sweeter than a 
  G#
watermelon dream
     A                          
'Cept sittin' on the front porch 
             E
eatin' that peach ice cream
E                           C#7
When life is really sweeter than it 
seems
F#                               
That's what you've got to call a 
B
watermelon dream

[Verse 2]
     E                        
With sticky hands and faces we 
            A
fought the yellow-jackets to a draw
        B                       
Then we used the rind for second 
          E
base and played a little hard ball
E                E7
I don't know how much we ate
A                  Bbdim7
But we all got the belly-ache

    E                  C#7
And everybody stayed up way too late
         F#7  B     E
It was a watermelon dream

[Chorus]
E                          
Ain't nothin' sweeter than a 
  G#7
watermelon dream
     A                          
'Cept sittin' on the front porch 
             E
eatin' that peach ice cream
E                           C#7
When life is really sweeter than it 
seems
F#                               
That's what you've got to call a 
B
watermelon dream

[Verse 3]
       E                           
Then a little after sundown we'd be
 A
 runnin' out of steam
        B                          
So we'd light a roman candle up and
        E
 try to hold on to a dream
     E                  E7
Maybe slip out behind a car
A                   Bbdim7
Take a little taste from a jar
E                      C#7
Then just lay back and count the 
stars
                F#7  B     E
That's called a watermelon dream

[Chorus]
E                          
Ain't nothin' sweeter than a 
  G#7
watermelon dream
     A                          
'Cept sittin' on the front porch 
             E
eatin' that peach ice cream
E                           C#7
When life is really sweeter than it 
seems
F#                               
That's what you've got to call a 
B
watermelon dream

E                          
Ain't nothin' sweeter than a 
  G#7
watermelon dream
     A                          
'Cept sittin' on the front porch 
             E
eatin' that peach ice cream
E                           C#7
When life is really sweeter than it 
seems
F#                               
That's what you've got to call a
