Stan Rogers – Watching The Apples Grow (Guitar)

C                                             F
It’s early up Ontario farm, chicken crow for day

              C                                Am
I wish I grew Annapolis apples up above Fundy Bay

F      C      G     C
Oh, it seems so far away

C                                                     F
On the ridge above Acadia’s town to the valley down below

                     C                                       Am
The evening shadow falls upon the families listening to the radio

F         C        G       C
And watching the apples grow.

F             C                  F                   C
Down on the farm, back among the family, away from Ontario

F                    C                                  Am
Hear the ladies singing to the men, dancing it heel and toe

F        C       G        C
And watching the apples grow.

C                                            F
Ontario, y’know I’ve seen a place I’d rather be

                    C                                              Am
Your scummy lakes and the city of Toronto don’t do a damn thing for me

F        C     G       C
I’d rather live by the sea.

C                                                        F
I’ve watched the V’s of geese go by, the foxfoot in the snow

                          C                                           Am
I’ve climbed the ridge of Gaspereau Mountain, looking to the valley below

F      C        G         C
And watching the apples grow.

F             C                  F                   C
Down on the farm, back among the family, away from Ontario

F                    C                                  Am
Hear the ladies singing to the men, dancing it heel and toe

F        C       G        C
And watching the apples grow.

F             C                  F                   C
Down on the farm, back among the family, away from Ontario

F                    C                                  Am
Hear the ladies singing to the men, dancing it heel and toe

F        C       G        C
And watching the apples grow.

F             C                  F                   C
Down on the farm, back among the family, away from Ontario

F                    C                                  Am
Hear the ladies singing to the men, dancing it heel and toe

F        C       G        C
And watching the apples grow.
