My Favorite Plum by Suzanne Vega
Intro:
A minorAm E MajorE DmDm A minorAm
Verse:
A minorAm E MajorE
My favorite plum
A minorAm DmDm E MajorE
Hangs so far from me
FF E MajorE
See how it sleeps
Dm7Dm7 Dm6Dm6 E MajorE
And hear how it calls to me
C majorC E minorEm
See how the flesh
E minorEm
Presses the skin
G minorGm
It must be bursting
DmDm E MajorE
With secrets within
FF E MajorE
I've seen the rest, yes
Dm7Dm7 E MajorE A minorAm
And that is the one for me
Verse:
A minorAm E MajorE
See how it shines
A minorAm DmDm E MajorE
It will be so sweet
FF E MajorE
I've been so dry
Dm7Dm7 Dm6Dm6 E MajorE
It would make my heart complete
C majorC
See how it lays
E minorEm
Languid and slow
G minorGm
Never noticing
E minorEm E MajorE
Me here below
FF E MajorE
I've seen the best, yes
Dm7Dm7 E MajorE A minorAm
And that is the one for me
Bridge:
A minorAm Am7Am7
Maybe a girl will take it
Am7Am7 Am6Am6
Maybe a boy will steal it
Dm6Dm6 E7E7
Maybe a shake of the bough
A minorAm FF E MajorE
Will wake it and make it fall
Verse:
A minorAm E MajorE
But my favorite plum
A minorAm DmDm E MajorE
Lies in wait for me
FF E MajorE
I'll be right here
Dm7Dm7 Dm6Dm6 E MajorE
Longing endlessly
C majorC
You'll say that I'm
E minorEm
Foolish to trust
G minorGm
But it will be mine
DmDm E MajorE
And I know that it must
FF E MajorE
Cause I've had the rest, yes
Dm7Dm7 E MajorE A minorAm
And that is the one for me
Dm7Dm7 E MajorE
I've had the best, yes
FF E7E7 A minorAm
And that is the one for me
