DOh, Oh, Oh, Oh …
F#mOh, Oh, Oh, Oh …
BmOh, Oh, Oh, Oh …G  
(Verse)
DI got so excited
When I F#msaw you for the first time
You Bmfresh and inviting
GPerfectly enticing, yeah
DIn the most distinctive hue
Of F#mcrisp white linen kissed with blue 
All Bmpolished and sophisticated
The Gfinest specimen, oh, oh
Where had you Abeen
I’d Gsearched between the leaves to no aAvail
I’d Gsat beneath the tress hoping the Bmsky would send me
EmSomething so delicious 
(Chorus)
Like Dapples and onions
Like F#mwhisky and wine
BmSome are just born beautiful
And Gsome need time to
DFind out what they’re made of
And F#mwhere they belong
Like Bmapples and onionsG  
(Verse)
DYou won’t recognize me when 
You F#msee what I’ve become
From Bmscrappy little fisherman
To Gjuicy little plum
From Dknotted hair and bruised up knees
To F#mlips so sweet they’d make the bees 
BmSwarm around with jealousy
You Gnever saw this side of me
Oh what hides beAneath
Is Gnot always as simple as it sAeems
(Chorus)
Like Dapples and onions
Like F#mwhisky and wine
BmSome are just born beautiful
And Gsome need time to
DFind out what they’re made of
And F#mwhere they belong
Like Bmapples and onionsG  
GWhat starts off intoxicating, 
AShiny and exhilarating
BmAfter a while
It gets a Dlittle bit tired and
GWhat at first seems dry and rough 
With Askin so thick and shell so tough 
You Bmwork so hard to get inside
And Dthen you find something so delicious
DOh, Oh, Oh, Oh …
F#mOh, Oh, Oh, Oh …
              (Something so complex)
BmOh, Oh, Oh, Oh …   GYou didn’t know existed
DOh, Oh, Oh, Oh …
F#mOh, Oh, Oh, Oh …
              (You never saw, perfect) 
BmOh, Oh, Oh, Oh …   GSomething so delicious
GAh, ah, ah, Aah, ah, oh, oh
BmAh, ah, ah, Dah, ah, oh, oh
    GAh, ah, ah, Aah, ah, oh, oh
(So find out what you’re made of, yeah)
BmAh, ah, ah, Dah, ah, oh, oh

F#m

(Introduction)

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh …

F#m

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh …

Bm G

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh …

(Verse)

I got so excited

F#m

When I saw you for the first time

You fresh and inviting

Perfectly enticing, yeah

In the most distinctive hue

F#m

Of crisp white linen kissed with blue

All polished and sophisticated

The finest specimen, oh, oh

Where had you been

G A

I’d searched between the leaves to no avail

G Bm

I’d sat beneath the tress hoping the sky would send me

Something so delicious

(Chorus)

Like apples and onions

F#m

Like whisky and wine

Some are just born beautiful

And some need time to

Find out what they’re made of

F#m

And where they belong

Bm G

Like apples and onions

(Verse)

You won’t recognize me when

F#m

You see what I’ve become

From scrappy little fisherman

To juicy little plum

From knotted hair and bruised up knees

F#m

To lips so sweet they’d make the bees

Swarm around with jealousy

You never saw this side of me

Oh what hides beneath

G A

Is not always as simple as it seems

(Chorus)

Like apples and onions

F#m

Like whisky and wine

Some are just born beautiful

And some need time to

Find out what they’re made of

F#m

And where they belong

Bm G

Like apples and onions

What starts off intoxicating,

Shiny and exhilarating

After a while

It gets a little bit tired and

What at first seems dry and rough

With skin so thick and shell so tough

You work so hard to get inside

And then you find something so delicious

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh …

F#m

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh …

(Something so complex)

Bm G

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh … You didn’t know existed

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh …

F#m

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh …

(You never saw, perfect)

Bm G

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh … Something so delicious

G A

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, oh, oh

Bm D

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, oh, oh

G A

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, oh, oh

(So find out what you’re made of, yeah)

Bm D

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, oh, oh
