Intro E 

 

E         A        E         B    E 
I used to sit in a big apple tree 
E           A         F#m        B     G 
Welcome the sun as he shone down on me 
G          F#m       G            D 
Watch the fruit ripen, smell the land grow 
D        G               C         Bm         E 
Felt the fall rains get colder and turn into snow 



E             A          E                 B    E 
Than in the summer, I'd walk through the trees 
E           A         F#m      B      G 
Roll up my trousers way over my knees 
G       F#m              G          D 
Waded a stream 'til the rocks hurt my feet 
     G         C            Bm         E 
The water was cool and the summer was sweet 



E           A         E           B          E 
Autumn got lonely when harvest came 'round 
E             A             F#m        B          G 
Green leaves turned golden and fell to the ground 
G            F#m       G               D            G 
Clear nights got colder with the stars bright above 
G           C        Bm         E 
And in thе winter, I first fell in love 



E             A        E         B       E 
Shе loved me truly 'til winter passed by 
E             A        F#m      B        G 
Left without warning and never said why 
G     F#m        G                D   G 
Babe she's lonely, needs me somewhere 
G]         C       Bm         E
Maybe by summer I won't even care
