[Verse 1]

N.C               A     E A
There was a tall oak tree
               F#m      A     E
That loved the babblin' brook
F#m              A     E
And the babblin' brook
A         F#m          A E F#m
Loved the mountain high
                   A       E A
And the mountain high.....
                    F#m
Loved the sky above
             B
You know The Creator looked down
    E         E7         A   D     A
And saw everything was love love love

[Verse 2]

N.C            A    E A
Then he took a bone
                   E A
And a piece of mud
          F#m       A     E A
He made a man and a woman
      E         A     E A
To be flesh and blood
          E             A     E A
But then along came the devil
                          E  F#m
From up out of the ground
            B
You know    he tempted woman
    E           E7      A      D A
And that spread sin all around


[Chorus]

         D              Bb
If she'd left that apple

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

We'd live eternally


[Verse 3]

                        D# Bb
But then along came Man
                             D# Bb
And burned the oak tree down
                           D# Bb
And now the babblin' brook
                         D# Bb
Well it's a solid ground
                       D# Bb
And the mountains high
                         Dm Gm
They don't stand so high
              C
And there's a cloud of smoke
     F             F7         Bb  D# Bb
That covers up the clear blue sky


[Chorus]

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

To burned the oak tree down
                           F C
And now the babblin' brook
                       F C
Lord it's solid ground
                       F C
And the mountains high
                              G Am
Well they don't stand so high......
              D
And there's a cloud of smoke
     F             F7         C   F C
That covers up the clear blue sky

Loved the mountians high.....
