Lyrics

[Verse 1]
      Bm                Bm/A#
And I wake up in the morning
         D6/A               E7
With my hair down in my eyes  and she says,
A
"Hi"
A/E A/C#  Bm                  Bm/A#
    And I stumble to the breakfast table
          D6/A              E7
While the kids are going off  to school,
A
 goodbye
A/E     Em                   A7            Em
And she reaches out and takes  my hand and squeezes it
    A7             D
And says, "How you feeling, hon?"
D/C#  Bm             E7
And I look across at smiling lips
      Bm                E7     A          A/C# A/E
That warms my heart and see my morning sun
A                  Bm
 And if that's not loving me,
E7 Bm E7            Bm        E7 Bm E7
      then all I've got to say

[Chorus]
A
God didn't make the little green apples
                                     Bm         E7
It don't rain in Indianapolis in the summer time
Bm E7            Bm7              E7
     And there's no such thing as Dr.
          Bm7
Seuss, or Disney Land
    E7                 A
And Mother Goose is no nursery rhyme
A/C#
A/E A
    God didn't make the little green apples
                                     Bm         E7
It don't rain in Indianapolis in the summer time
Bm E7    Bm             E7
     And when myself is feeling low,
  Bm              E7
I think about her face aglow
    A       A/C# A/E
And ease my mind
A A/E A/C#

[Verse 2]
Bm    Bm/A#            D6/A   E7   A
  Sometimes I call her up  at home knowing she's busy
A/E
A/C#    Bm             Bm/A#             D6/A           E7
    And ask her if she can  get away and meet me And may
                 A
be we can grab a bite to eat
A/C#        Em               A7               Em
    And she drops what she's doing and she hurries down to
       A7
meet me
D
 And I'm always late
D/C#    Bm                 E7          Bm
    But she sits waiting patiently and smiles when she
      E7
first sees me
A             A/C#      A/E
 'Cause she's made that way

[Pre-Chorus]
A                      Bm
 And if that ain't not loving me,
E7 Bm E7            Bm        E7 Bm E7
      then all I've got to say

[Chorus]
A
God didn't make the little green apples
                                           Bm          E7
And it don't snow in Indianapolis when the winter comes
Bm
E7            Bm               E7
  And there's no such thing as make believe
Bm             E7                A      A/C# A/E A/C# A/E
Puppy dogs, or autumn leaves, no BB guns

[Fade Out]
A
God didn't make the little green apples
                                     Bm         E7
It don't rain in Indianapolis in the summer time
