The Laughing Apple

 C             Bb         D     G C F        G C   D
Slowly let me tell you a story of a tree, an apple tree

[Verse 1]
Em               D    Em D  Em               D    Em D
Once in a summertime garden lived a little apple tree
       G        D               C        D
And the man who owned it wanted it to be picked
           G             D    Em  D
And so he sent forth to hire me

Em D

[Pre-chorus]
            Em               D    Em   D
Well, I've traveled the mountains
          Em           D   Em  D
And I've traveled the sea
        G         D         C
But a never in my traveling days
       D            G            D        Em   D
Have I ever seen a little apple smile at me

Em D  Em

[Chorus]
G                  D
Laugh, oh laugh a little apple
 G                  C
Autumn is waiting, you'd better be careful
 G                    D          Em                       D
For it will bring you down if it ever sees you wearing a frown
     G                       D
So laugh, oh laugh a little apple

Em D Em

[Verse 2]
      Em       D        Em     D
Well, all the apples were hiding
   Em                 D       Em      D
Frightened that they might be plucked
   G      C        G          D
And every time that somebody passed
     G           D                Em       D
All except that one little apple ducked

[Pre-chorus]
            Em               D    Em   D
Well, I've traveled the mountains
          Em           D   Em  D
And I've traveled the sea
        G         D         C
But a never in my traveling days
       D            G            D        Em   D
Have I ever seen a little apple smile at me

Em D Em

[Chorus]
G                  D
Laugh, oh laugh a little apple
 G                  C
Autumn is waiting, you'd better be careful
 G                    D          Em                       D
For it will bring you down if it ever sees you wearing a frown
     G                       D
So laugh, oh laugh a little apple

[Chorus]
G                  D
Laugh, oh laugh a little apple
 G                  C
Autumn is waiting, you'd better be careful
 G                    D          Em                       D
For it will bring you down if it ever sees you wearing a frown
     G                       D
So laugh, oh laugh a little apple
