by Emmylou Harris, from her album 'All I Intended To Be' (2008) Written by Tracy Chapman Verse:
A                D
Oh my mama told me

A                                   E
'Cause she say she learned the hard way

A                                D
She say she wanna spare the children

D
She say don't give or sell your soul away

       A             E            A
'Cause all that you have is your soul
Chorus:
D 
So don't be tempted by the shiny apple

A
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit

D
Hunger only for a taste of justice

A
Hunger only for a world of truth

                    E            A
'Cause all that you have is your soul
Verse:
D
Well I was a pretty young girl once

A
I had dreams I had high hopes

E
I married a man he stole my heart away

D
He gave his love but what a high price I paid

A            E            A
All that you have is your soul

D
Why was I such a young fool

A
Thought I'd make history 
Making babies was the best I could do
E
Thought I'd made something that could be mine forever

D
Found out the hard way one can't possess another

    A            E            A
And all that you have is your soul
Chorus:
D 
So don't be tempted by the shiny apple

A
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit

D
Hunger only for a taste of justice

A
Hunger only for a world of truth

                    E            A
'Cause all that you have is your soul
Verse:
D
I thought, thought that I could find a way

A
To beat the system
To make a deal and have no debts to pay
E
I'd take it all, I'd take it all, I'd run away

D
Me for myself first class and first rate

    A            E            A
But all that you have is your soul

D
Here I am, I'm waiting for a better day

A
A second chance
A little luck to come my way
E
A hope to dream, a hope that I can sleep again

D
And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands

       A            E             A
'Cause all that you have is your soul
Chorus:
D 
So don't be tempted by the shiny apple

A
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit

D
Hunger only for a taste of justice

A
Hunger only for a world of truth

                    E            A
'Cause all that you have is your soul
