"All Her Favorite Fruit" 
You may wish to play the G barred on the 3rd fret, 
and sometimes pick the top three strings descending.

DI drive alone, home from work
And I always think of BmherA  
DLate at night I call her, but I never say a BmwordA  
GBut I can see her squeeze the Bmphone between her Achin and shoulderD  G  
BmAnd I can Aalmost smell her Dbreath, faint, with a Gsweet scent of decayD  G  
DShe serves him mashed potatoes
She serves him peppered Bmsteak, and Acorn
DPulls the dress up over her head, lets it fall to the BmfloorA  
GAnd does she ever whisper Bmin his ear, Aall her favorite fruitD  G  
BmAnd all the Amost exotic Dplaces they are Gcultivated
DAnd I'd like to take her there, rather than this Bmtrain I'm Aon
DAnd if I weren't a civil servant, I'd have a place in the BmcoloniesA  
GWe'd play croquet behind Bmwhite-washed walls and Adrink our tea at fourD  G  
BmWithin Aintervention's Ddistance of the Gembassy
DThe midday air grows thicker AwDith the heat
And drifts Bmtowards the line of Atrees
DWhen negroes blink their eyeAs, Dthey sink into siestBmaA  
GAnd we are rotting like a Bmfruit underneath Aa rusting rooDfG  
BmWe dream our Adreams and sing our Dsongs of love - Gfecundity
Of Dlife and loveG, of Dlife and Glove, of Dlife and Glove

I drive alone, home from work

Bm A

And I always think of her

D Bm A

Late at night I call her, but I never say a word

G Bm A D G

But I can see her squeeze the phone between her chin and shoulder

Bm A D G D G

And I can almost smell her breath, faint, with a sweet scent of decay

She serves him mashed potatoes

Bm A

She serves him peppered steak, and corn

D Bm A

Pulls the dress up over her head, lets it fall to the floor

G Bm A D G

And does she ever whisper in his ear, all her favorite fruit

Bm A D G

And all the most exotic places they are cultivated

D Bm A

And I'd like to take her there, rather than this train I'm on

D Bm A

And if I weren't a civil servant, I'd have a place in the colonies

G Bm A D G

We'd play croquet behind white-washed walls and drink our tea at four

Bm A D G

Within intervention's distance of the embassy

D A D

The midday air grows thicker with the heat

Bm A

And drifts towards the line of trees

D A D Bm A

When negroes blink their eyes, they sink into siesta

G Bm A D G

And we are rotting like a fruit underneath a rusting roof

Bm A D G

We dream our dreams and sing our songs of love - fecundity

D G D G D G

Of life and love, of life and love, of life and love

(end with opening riff, then finish on D)
