[Verse]
E A
Well, the sun was hot and the dust rose up like smoke
B E
So we hid beneath the elm tree and watched the watermelons float
E E7
There in a big 'ol tub of ice
A A7
And we'd split em open with a kitchen knife
E C#m A B E
And everybody had a slice it was a watermelon dream
[Chorus]
E G#m
Ain't nothin' sweeter than a watermelon dream
A E
'Cept sittin on the front porch eatin' that peach ice cream
E C#m
When life is really sweeter than it seems
F#m B
That's what you've got to call a watermelon dream
E A
With sticky hands and and faces we fought the yellow-jackets to a draw
B E
Then we used the rind for second base and played a little hard ball
E E7
I don't know how much we ate
A A7
But we all got the belly-ache
E C#m
And everybody stayed up way too late
A B E
It was a watermelon dream
[Chorus]
E A
Then a little after sundown we'd be runnin out of steam
B E
So we'd light a roman candle and try to hold on to the dream
E E7
Maybe slip out behind a car
A A7
Take a little tastes from a jar
E C#m
Then just lay back and count the stars
A B E
That's called a watermelon dream
