I Had A Little Nut Tree

Intro 
Bb 


[Verso 1]


  Bb 
I had a little nut tree 
Bb 
Nothing would it bear 
Eb 
But a silver nutmeg 
Ab 
And a golden pear 
    Bb 
The King of Spain's daughter 
Bb 
Came to visit me 
    Eb 
And all for the sake 
      F          Bb 
Of my little nut tree.

    Bb 
Her dress was made of crimson, 
Bb 
Jet black was her hair, 
    Eb 
She asked me for my nutmeg 
Ab 
And my golden pear. 
  Bb 
I said, "So fair a princess 
Bb 
Never did I see, 
     Eb 
I'll give you all the fruit 
        F          Bb 
From my little nut tree 
  Bb 
I danced over the water, 
   Bb 
I danced over the sea, 
    Eb 
And all the birds in the air, 
F 
Couldn't catch me! 
    Bb 
And all the birds in the air couldn't catch me! 
    Bb 
And all the birds in the air couldn't catch me!
