[Verse 1]

N.C        A augmentedA   E MajorE A augmentedA
There was a tall oak tree
        F# minorF#m   A augmentedA   E MajorE
That loved the babblin' brook
F# minorF#m       A augmentedA   E MajorE
And the babblin' brook
A augmentedA     F# minorF#m     A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m
Loved the mountain high
          A augmentedA    E MajorE A augmentedA
And the mountain high.....
          F# minorF#m
Loved the sky above
       BB
You know The Creator looked down
  E MajorE     E7E7     A augmentedA  D MajorD   A augmentedA
And saw everything was love love love

[Verse 2]

N.C      A augmentedA  E MajorE A augmentedA
Then he took a bone
          E MajorE A augmentedA
And a piece of mud
     F# minorF#m    A augmentedA   E MajorE A augmentedA
He made a man and a woman
   E MajorE     A augmentedA   E MajorE A augmentedA
To be flesh and blood
     E MajorE       A augmentedA   E MajorE A augmentedA
But then along came the devil
             E MajorE F# minorF#m
From up out of the ground
      BB
You know  he tempted woman
  E MajorE      E7E7   A augmentedA   D MajorD A augmentedA
And that spread sin all around


[Chorus]

     D MajorD       Bb majorBb
If she'd left that apple

On the apple tree
       FF    Bb majorBb
There'd be no tears an sorrow

We'd live eternally

[Verse 3]

            D#D# Bb majorBb
But then along came Man
               D#D# Bb majorBb
And burned the oak tree down
              D#D# Bb majorBb
And now the babblin' brook
             D#D# Bb majorBb
Well it's a solid ground
            D#D# Bb majorBb
And the mountains high
             DmDm G minorGm
They don't stand so high
       C majorC
And there's a cloud of smoke
   FF       F7F7     Bb majorBb D#D# Bb majorBb
That covers up the clear blue sky


[Chorus]

             BB E MajorE BB
If she'd left that apple
         E MajorE BB
On the apple tree
               E MajorE BB
There'd be no tears an sorrow
     E MajorE   BB
We'd live eternally
