Tom: E
E A E
He lived by the apple orchard in this little orchard shack
A B7
His real name was Jackson Taylor but I called him Apple Jack
E A E
Now old Apple Jack was loved by everyone he ever knew
B7 E
Apple Jack picked apples but he picked the banjo too
[Chorus]
E A E
Play a song for me Apple Jack, Apple Jack
E B7
Play a song for me and I'll sing
E A E
Play a song for me Apple Jack, Apple Jack
E B7 E
Play a song, let your banjo ring
[Verse 1]
E A E
Now I'd go down to Apple Jack's almost everyday
A B7
We'd sit and we'd drink applejack that old Apple Jack had made
E A E
Then he'd take his banjo down then he'd ask me if I'd sing
B7 E
And he would play the banjo and I'd play my tambourine
[Chorus]
E A E
Play a song for me Apple Jack, Apple Jack
E B7
Play a song for me and I'll sing
E A E
Play a song for me Apple Jack, Apple Jack
E B7 E
Play a song, let your banjo ring
[Verse 2]
E A E
That's when I was just a kid and now that I am grown
A B7
All I have are memories, old Apple Jack is gone
E A E
Oh, but he left me his banjo and it always takes me back
B7 E
And every time I play it, I still hear Apple Jack
[Chorus]
E A E
Play a song for me Apple Jack, Apple Jack
E B7
Play a song for me and I'll sing
E A E
Play a song for me Apple Jack, Apple Jack
E B7 E
Play a song, let your banjo ring
[Verse 3]
E A E
That's when I was just a kid and now that I am grown
A B7
All I have are memories, old Apple Jack is gone
E A E
Oh, but he left me his banjo and it always takes me back
B7 E
And every time I play it, I still hear Apple Jack
[Chorus]
E A E
Play a song for me Apple Jack, Apple Jack
E B7
Play a song for me and I'll sing
E A E
Play a song for me Apple Jack, Apple Jack
E B7 E
Play a song, let your banjo ring
[Verse 4]
E A E
That's when I was just a kid and now that I am grown
A B7
All I have are memories, old Apple Jack is gone
E A E
Oh, but he left me his banjo and it always takes me back
B7 E
And every time I play it, I still hear Apple Jack
