Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse)
Em C G D
Underneath the peach tree, where we first met,
Em C G D
Your sweet smile, girl, I’ll never forget.
Em C G D
The sun shined bright, and the air smelled sweet,
Em C G D
I knew right then, you were the one to beat.
(Chorus)
Em C G D
Oh, my Peachy Keen Love, you’re the one I adore,
Em C G D
Under the peach tree, it’s you I fell for.
Em C G D
With your sun-kissed skin and your sweet peach pie,
Em C G D
I knew right then, it’s with you I want to die.
(Verse)
Em C G D
As the seasons change, our love stays strong,
Em C G D
Underneath the peach tree, where we belong.
Em C G D
We’ll weather the storms, we’ll bask in the sun,
Em C G D
With you, my Peachy Keen Love, life’s always fun.
(Chorus)
Em C G D
Oh, my Peachy Keen Love, you’re the one I adore,
Em C G D
Under the peach tree, it’s you I fell for.
Em C G D
With your sun-kissed skin and your sweet peach pie,
Em C G D
I knew right then, it’s with you I want to die.
