[F]
[C]
Eve and Adam had a garden, everything was [D] great, till one [Bb] day a boy says, pardon miss,
my name is [Bb] Sleigh.
[C] See that apple over yonder, [F] if you'll take a bite, you and Adam both are bound to [C] have
some fun tonight.
[F] Oh, [Bb]
that's [F] sweet, it's [Bb] quite a treat.
[Dm] Go ahead and [D] taste it, you don't want to wait.
[F]
[D] The [Bb] Lord has said in the beginning, [D] everything is free, [F] except that apple, it leads to sinning,
so let that apple be.
[E] But Eve got tempted, so she tried it, [F] and as all chicks [C] do, he's her man, so he decided
he'd just [F] try some too.
Oh, [Bb]
that's sweet, it's [F] quite a [Bb]
treat.
I [Fm] [B] bet you'd be [F] delighted.
[D] I hate to tell you all what followed, the [F] Lord was most [D] upset, saw them [Bb] making love
and hollered, [C] what have you to [Bb] add?
And when they made a full [D] confession, the Lord says, hmm, I see, [F]
I guess I'll have to
teach you a lesson about not minding me.
[Bb] Oh, that's [F] sweet, it's [Bb] quite a treat.
[F] [Fm] Go on and get it.
[F]
[D] [Cm] [G] The Lord made Eve be Adam's madam, [F]
had his kids and all, placed some labor laws on Adam
and he made the snake to fall.
[C] Ever since the days of Eden, folks been sinful [F] minds, nowadays [F] they're even [Bb] eating apples
in [F] their pie.
Oh, [Bb] that's sweet, [F] it's quite [Bb] a treat.
[Fm]
[Bb] Go on and taste [F] it.
You don't want to waste it.
Go on and bite it.
[C] [F]
