[Dm][F#m][Am][Eb]
[Dm][F#m][Am][Eb]

[Verse 1]
[Dm]It was a stormy nigh[F#m]t[Am]
You know the kind where the [Eb]lightning strike
[Dm]And I was hang[F#m]in' out
wit [Am]some of my "artsy" friends
[Eb]Ooh wee ooh wee ooh
The [Dm]night was long the [F#m]night went [Am]on
People coolin' out until the [Eb]break of dawn
[Dm]Incense was [F#m]burnin'
[Am]so I'm feelin' right, ai[Eb]ght

[Pre-chorus 1]
See I [Dm]picks my friends
like I [F#m]pick my f[Am]ruit
And Granny told me that
when I was [Eb]only a youth
[Dm]I don't walk around
trying to [F#m]be what I'm not[Am]
I don't waste my time
trying to [Eb]get what you got
I [Dm]work at pleasin' me
cause I [F#m]can't please [Am]you
And that's why I [Eb]do what I do
My [Dm]soul flies free like a [F#m]willow [Am]tree
Doo wee doo wee do [Eb]wee

[Chorus 1]
[Dm]And if you don't want
to [F#m]be down with me[Am]
You don't want to pick from my [Eb]apple tree
[Dm]And if you don't want
to [F#m]be down with me[Am]
Then you don't want to pick
from my [Eb]apple tree
[Dm]And if you don't want
to [F#m]be down with me[Am]
Then you don't want to pick
from my [Eb]apple tree
[Dm]And if you don't want
to [F#m]be down with me[Am]
You just don't want to be [Eb]down

[Verse 2]
[Dm]I have a hoe[F#m][Am]
And I take it every[Eb]where I go
[Dm]'Cause I'm planting seed[F#m]s
So I [Am]reaps what I sow ya know, ya [Eb]know
Oh [Dm]on and on and o[F#m]n and on[Am]
My cipher keeps movin' like a [Eb]rollin' stone
[Dm]I can't contro[F#m]l the soul[Am] flowin' in me
Ooh [Eb]wee

[Pre-chorus 2]

trying to [Eb]get what you got
I [Dm]work at pleasin' me
cause I [F#m]can't please [Am]you
And that's why I [Eb]do what I do
My [Dm]soul flies free like a [F#m]willow [Am]tree
Doo wee doo wee do [Eb]wee

to [F#m]be down with me[Am]
You don't want to pick from my [Eb]apple tree
[Dm]And if you don't want
to [F#m]be down with me[Am]
You don't want to pick from my [Eb]apple tree
[Dm]And if you don't want
to [F#m]be down with me[Am]
You just don't want to be [Eb]down
