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 

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 

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 
 
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
