About: Hey there, thanks for checking out my lime tree tab!
This is the first song I have ever tabbed out so I'm hoping it helps you more than 
frustrates you =P.
The Lime Tree should be easy enough for beginners to learn and fun enough for pros to play.
This is one of my favorite songs and I hope it becomes one of yours as well! If you have 
any questions or see any errors feel free to email me.
Until then, have fun!

It took a while for you to find me
Am               E
But I was hiding in the lime tree
C              G
Above the city in the rain cloud
Am             E
I poked a hole and watched it drain out

        And parallel to the city streets
        But as we walk across the diamonds
        Save me love save me all the time
        Toast my glass to all my loved ones

      Our broken crowns beneath our feet
      We know that love is always shining
      I'll wash ya down with a simple sip of wine
      To let them know that the stars well they still shine
