[Verse 1]
[G]There [Em]was[G][Em][G]
a tall oak tree
that loved the Babylon [D]brook
And [Em]the Babylon [G]brook
loved the mountain high
[D]An [G]d the[Em] mountai[G]n high
loved the sky above
[Em]You [G]know[Em], the [G]Creator[A]
[G]looked [C]down an[C#]d saw
[D]Everything [Ab]was l[G]ove, l[C]ove, l[G]ove
[Em]Then He took [G]a bone an
[C]d a[G] piece of mud[C]
[G]He made a man and a woman
[C]to [G]be flesh and blood
But then along came the devil
[C]from [G]up out of the ground
[D]You [G]kno[Em]w, he tempt[Edim]ed woma[A]n
and that [D]spread [C]sin all [G]around[C]
[G]If she'd have [Ab]left that
apple on the apple tree
[C#]Ther[Ab]e'd be no tear[C#]s and [Ab]sorrow,
[C#]we'd [Ab]live eter[C#]nally[Ab]
[C#]But [Ab]then along came man
[C#]an d[Ab] burned the oak tree down[C#]

[C#]well [Ab]it's a solid grou[C#]nd
[Ab]An d the mountains h[C#]igh,

[Ab]high[Cm][Ab][Fm]
And there's a [Bb]cloud of smoke
[Bbm]that covers up[Ebsus4] the
clear blue [C#]sky[Ab][C#]
[Ab]If she'd have left t[A]hat
apple on the apple [Bm]tree
[A]There'd be no tears and sorrow,
[D]we'd live [E]etern[A]ally
Then along came [Bb]man
[Eb]to b[Bb]urn the oak tree down[Eb]
[Bb]An d now the battle is b[Eb]roke,
[Bb]Lord it's solid ground
[Eb]And [Bb]the mountains are high,
[Eb]well [Bb]they don't stand [F]so [Bb]high[F]
[Gm]And there's a clou[C]d of smoke
that cov[Fsus4]ers up the[Eb]
clear blue [Bb]sky[Eb]
[Bb]There was a tall oak [Eb]tree,
[Bb]that of the Babylon root[Eb]
[Bb]And the [Eb]Babylon [Bb]root
[Eb]loved [Bb]the mountains high[Eb]
[Bb]And [Eb]the mount[Bb]ains h[F]igh,
[Bb]they loved the sky [F]above
[Bb]Oh, the creator looked d[F]own,
[Bb]he saw nothing but love[F]
[Dm]There [Eb]was a tall o[Bb]ld t[F]ree,
[Bb]there was a tall old [F]tree
[Bb]There was a tall old tree
