verse 2

The story goes that once a cherry tree
Beside an apple tree did grow.
And there a boy once met his bride to be
Long, long ago.

Chorus

The boy looked into her eyes,

-6 -6 -6   -6   6  6   6
it was a sight to enthrall.

The breezes joined in their sighs,

-5   -5 -5    -5  5  5   5
the blossoms started to fall.
 7   7   7   7 -7  -7  -7   
And as they gently caressed

-6  -6 -6   -6     6 6   6
the lovers looked up to find

-6  -6  -6   -6  6   6    6    
The branches of the two trees

 -5    5 -4  4
were intertwined.

verse 3
That is why the poets always wrote
If there's a new moon bright above
It's cherry pink and apple blossom white
When you're in love.
