[Intro]

| Em | D | Em | D |
| Em | D | G | D | G | D |
 
[Verse 1]
         G                   Am7
Now I've watched you sitting there
         G              Am7
Seen the passers-by all stare
         Em7              Em6
Like you have no place to go
            C                  Edim7           |  G  |  D  |  G  |  D  |
But there's so much they don't know about Apple Scruffs
 
[Verse 2]
            G                Am7
You've been stood around for years
        G                     Am7
Seen my smiles and touched my tears
         Em7               Em6
How it's been a long, long time
        C                 Edim7          |  G  |  D  |  G  |  %  |
And how you've been on my mind, my Apple Scruffs
 
[Chorus]
      Edim7  G           Edim7  G
Apple Scru - uffs, Apple Scru - uffs
(B7)   Em              A7
 How I love you, how I love you
 
[Solo] (harp)
| G | D | G | D |

[Verse 3]
       G              Am7
In the fog and in the rain
            G                 Am7
Through the pleasures and the pain
       Em7              Em6
On the step outside you stand
          C               Edim7          |  G  |  D  |  G  |  D  |
With your flowers in your hand, my Apple Scruffs
 
[Verse 4]
          G                   Am7
While the years they come and go
          G                Am7
Now, your love must surely show me
       Em7               Em6
That beyond all time and space
        C              Edim7         |  G  |  D  |  G  |  D  |
We're together face to face, my Apple Scruffs

 How I love you, how I love you

When i played this song the first time In the 70's I was a befinner on guitar, i also had to learn the "dim7" chord. After that I have learned Manny Manny more chords and stuff.. Anyway Perfect chords to a fantastic song...
