[Intro 1]
[C][G]
[D]There was

[Verse 1]
[G]a tall oak tree
[D]that [G]loved the Bab[C]ylon bro[G]ok,
[D]and [G]the Bab[C]ylon bro[G]ok loved
[D]the[G] mounta[C]in[G][D]
[G]An d the [C]mountain [G]high
[D]loved [G]the sky[C] above
[G]The[Em] Creator look[A]ed down and saw
[D]everything was love, lov[G]e, lov[C]e
[G]Then He took a b[D]one[G]
and a [C]piece of [G]mud
He made a [C]man, a [G]woman,
to be [C]flesh and [G]blood
Then [C]along came the [G]devil,
up [C]out of the [G]ground[Em]
He [A]tempted woman and that [D]spread sin
all [G]around, all [C]around, all around
If she'd left [D]that ap[G]ple on
[D]the apple [G]tree
There'd [D]be no tears an[G]d sorrow,
we'd live [D]eternally
[G]Then along cam[D]e man[G]
to burn the [C]oak tree [G]down
Now the [C]Babylon [G]brook
is a [C]solid [G]ground
And the [C]mountain high,
[G]don't sta[C]nd so hig[G]h
[Em]Cause there's a [A]cloud of smoke
that [D]covers up the clear blue sky
[G]The[C]re was[G] a tall o[C]ak tree
[G]There was a [C]tall old [G]tree.
There was a [C]tall old [G]tree.
