VERSE 1
********
G                                                  Bm
Adam's at the window, staring at the apple trees on fire
G                                                                   Bm
Waiting for the windfall that brings the smile of kings and their desire
C                                                          G
Door blows in behind him, a floral pattern, summer dress so gay


E|E|----------------||---------
VERSE 2
********
D7                           G
Burning in the sunlight, too late to wait
D7                          G
For darkness won't delay to steal her cherry lips away
    Em                 Bm                  C              G
For while the careless tongues of sunlight slowly trickle down
    C                  Bm             Am              D
The curve of hips, her fingertips, in kissing sips we drown
           C
In kissing sips we drown


E|E|----------------||---------
CHORUS
*******
    D    C    G        D
And Adam will have his way

Adam's on the island, living in the land of love
G                                                        Bm
Shadows lurk around him, drunk on the royal jelly of pure love
C                                                                      G
Full and ripe, the fruit hang, for when the prince arrives he will want more

VERSE 4
********
    D7                                 G
And more and more he'll drink from the canvas cup
    D7                 G
The son of a swan will then lose his plumera
    Em             Bm               C                   G
And he will wear a new-age suit and haunt the joints in town
    C               Bm              Am              D
And play the silver magic flute and call his lovers down
             C
And call his lovers down


E|E|----------------||---------

Will have his way

G                                                  Bm
Waiting for November, easy with the darkness of the day
C                                                         G
Smiles a tear of gladness, and Adam's at the window once again

The curve of hips, her fingertips, in kissing sips we drown
