        Dm           Dm/C#
And I wake up in the mornin'

        Dm/C            G7                 C
with my hair down in my eyes and she says "Hi"

        Dm           Dm/C#
And I stumble to the breakfast table

          Dm/C                  G7         C
while the kids are goin' off to school goodbye

          C7
And she reaches out and takes my hand

                                   F
and squeezes it and says "How ya feelin', hon?"

       Dm            G
And I look across at smilin' lips

      Dm               G      C
that warm my heart and see my mornin' sun

                   Dm      G   Dm  G
And if that's not lovin' me

               Dm        G  Dm  G
then all I've got to say

C
God didn't make little green apples

                                          Dm    G   Dm   G
and it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime

             Dm                G
And there's no such thing as Doctor Seuss

        Dm           G                    C
or Disneyland, and Mother Goose, no nursery rhyme

C
God didn't make little green apples

                                           Dm     G    Dm  G
and it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime

      Dm                    G
And when my self is feelin' low

     Dm              G             C
I think about her face aglow and ease my mind

Dm   Dm/C#         Dm/C    G7    C
Sometimes I call her up at home knowin' she's busy

    Dm       Dm/C#                   Dm/C
and ask her if she could get away and meet me

     G7                   C
and maybe we could grab a bite to eat

         C7
And she drops what she's doin' and she hurries down to meet me

         F
and I'm always late

         Dm
But she sits waitin' patiently and smiles when she first sees me

               C
'cause she's made that way

                   Dm      G   Dm  G
And if that's not lovin' me

               Dm      G  Dm  G
then all I've got to say

C
God didn't make little green apples

                                             Dm     G    Dm   G
and it don't snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes

            Dm                 G
And there's no such thing as make believe,

          Dm         G         C
puppy dogs, autumn leaves and BB guns

C
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis....
