[Intro] A E A F#m A E F#m A E A F#m A E C [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
[Verse 4]
                C   F C
Then along came Man

                            F C
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

That covers up the clear blue sky
