[Intro 1]
[C][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]There was a tall oak tre[D]e
[G]That loved a b[C]abblin[G] brook,[D][G]
And [C]the [G]bab[D]blin brook
[G]loved the mou[C]ntain hig[G]h,[D]
[G]And the mou[C]ntain hig[G]h[D]
[G]Loved the sky[C] abo[G]ve.[Em]
The Cre[A]ator looked down
And [D]saw everything was love,
[G]lov[C]e, lov[G]e.
No, he took [D]a bone[G]
And a [C]piece of [G]mud - -
He made [C]a man and a wo[G]man
To be [C]flesh and [G]blood.
And then [C]along came the [G]devil
Up [C]out of [G]the ground [Em]- -
[A]He tempted the woman,
And that [D]spread sin all [G]round,
all [C]round, all round.
Now, if she?d left [D]that ap[G]ple
[D]On that apple [G]tree,
There?d be [D]no tears [G]or sorrow,
We?d live [D]eternally.
[G]And then along cam[D]e Man[G]
And chopped the [C]oak tree [G]down
And now [C]the bab[G]blin brook
Is [C]solid [G]ground.
And now the [C]mountain [G]high
don't [C]stand so [G]high,[Em]
And there's a [A]cloud of smoke
That [D]covers up the clear blue [G]sky.[C]
[G]There was a tal[C]l oak tre[G]e,
There was a [C]tall oak [G]tree,
There was a [C]tall oak [G]tree.
