   / Rufus Wainwright  /  I think this song is very hard to interpret as well
  / Peach Trees       /  as many other of his songs, but check out the website
 / Want Two          /  songmeanings.net, which always has a good input:

The indicated chords is the way Rufus plays the song live. It's impossible to
transcribe them from the album version, and these work perfectly fine as well.

When the same chord appears in a new shape, play the new one from there and on.
The symbol % means to just stay on the previous chord.

 LYRICS
**********
Is true love a trip to Chinatown
Or being held in one's opium gaze

Under the peach trees
There I'll sit and wait

Is true love a long walk through Bryant Park
Or being held in the month of May

Under the peach trees
Under the peach trees
Under the peach trees
There I will be
Will be until you come and get me

Cause I'm so tired of waiting in restaurants
Reading the critics and comics alone

With a waiter with a face made for currency
Like a coin in ancient Rome

And I really do wish you were here next to me
'Cause I'm going to see James Dean

There I will be
Under the peach trees
Under the peach trees
Under, under, under the peach trees with him
