AServing something beyond E

AI'll get back to you Esomeday soon Ayou will Esee

Outro

EIf I had an orchard
AI'd work till I'm raw
A6If I had an orchard
EI'd work till I'm sore
EAnd you would wait tables
AAnd soon run the store
EGold hair in the sunlight
AMy light in the dawn
A6If I had an orchard
EI'd work till I'm sore
EIf I had an orchard
AI'd work till I'm sore
ESomeday I'll be
ALike the man on the screen
