See [C] that apple over [F] yonder, if you'll take a bite, you and [Bb] Adam both are bound to have

The Lord has [F] said in the beginning, [D] everything is free, [F] except that apple, it leads to sinning,

he'd just try some too.

[C] saw them making [Bb] love and hollered, what [D] have you to [F] add?
