verse 1 
  C              F                  C 
I gave my love a cherry that had no stone; 
  G7             C                   G 
I gave my love a chicken that had no bone; 
  G7             C              G 
I gave my love a baby with no crying, 
    Am             F                 C 
And told my love a story that had no end.

How can there be a cherry that has no stone? 
    G7             C                   G 
How can there be a chicken that has no bone? 
    G7             C               G 
How can there be a baby with no crying? 
    Am             F                 C 
How can you tell a story that has no end?

verse 3 
  C                F                   C 
A cherry when it's blooming, it has no stone; 
      G7                C                    G 
And a chicken when it's pipping, there is no bone; 
  G7             C                      G7 
A baby when it's sleeping, there's no crying, 
    Am           F                   C 
And when I say I love you, it has no end.

I gave my love a chicken that had no bone; 
  G7             C              G 
I gave my love a baby with no crying, 
    Am             F                 C 
And told my love a story that had no end.
