Fruit Is Heavy

[Intro ]
D   G   Em   A   D   G   Em   A 

 
  D                       G 
That little white house, wasnt it something? 
 Em                   A 
Wasnt it heaven, just me and you love? 
D                         G 
But then all of a sudden, wasnt it crowded? 
 Em                   A 
Bed in the living room over the couch 
D                     G 
And I never thought that Id hear 
 Em                   A 
Such a clamor in my living room 
D                    G 
Quite the din, those little people, 
 Em                     A 
A thundering frolic of mes and of yous 
 

 
D                          G 
Keep your heart steady now, and your eyes clear 
 Em                       A 
These are the days youll want back when theyre gone 
D                    G 
Dont wish them away; dont forget, love 
 Em                    A 
Fruit is heavy out there on the bough. 
 

 
D                                    G 
When it was up straight in the morning, stars still aglow, 
 Em                   A 
Driving my rattling car down the road 
D                    G 
Thinking about you, giving your all, 
 Em                   A 
Making that little white house into home. 
D                    G 
And those days rolled by like thunder, 
 Em                   A 
Fell down like rain, and they blew like a gale. 
D                    G 
Bending our branches, shaking boughs, 
 Em                     A 
Wasnt quite certain if our roots would hold. 
 

 
D                          G 
Keep your heart steady now, and your eyes clear 
 Em                       A 
These are the days youll want back when theyre gone 
D                    G 
Dont wish them away; dont forget, love 
 Em                    A 
Fruit is heavy out there on the bough. 
 

 
 D                 G 
Time is wild horse, fleet on the plains 
 Em                   A 
And all the good days, they hurry on by 
  D                      G 
The blood that you feel so hot in your veins 
 Em                       A 
Will turn back to the dust that gave us our name 
 

 
D                          G 
Keep your heart steady now, and your eyes clear 
 Em                       A 
These are the days youll want back when theyre gone 
D                    G 
Dont wish them away; dont forget, love 
 Em                    A 
Fruit is heavy out there on the bough.
