Forbidden Fruit

Forbidden Fruit

verse 1
why Em do you hate my love so much when you C bid me not to move.. or Em touch? …
C unprovoked you disagree, so G how do you think that feels .. to Em me? …
you say you Am like your independence, you like to BmE feel like you are free
but that C doesn’t make it right for you to G condescend to me
if you Em wanna make amends .. my C dear .. C .. C (n/c) put the apple back on the Em tree …
verse 2
Em let your light so shine .. C it all still might work out Em fine you know
C life is less unkind .. G when you tow a line you Em would forego …
you say you Am like your independence, you like to BmE feel like you are free
but that C doesn’t make it right for you to G condescend to me
if you Em wanna make amends .. my C dear .. C .. C (n/c) put the apple back on the Em tree …
reprise
one Am spirit in the garden, was BmE dead-set to receive
one Am spirit, not yet hardened, was BmE quick to be deceived
one C spirit’s heart thus darkened, was G left without reprieve
to D bear the stark humility of C being told to leave
one G spirit made to grovel and be D trampled under foot
one C spirit made to work the land where-G-on the garden once had stood
and Am now your eyes are open, but no C matter what you see
we G can’t put that forbidden fruit back Am on the apple tree …
fill (G harp option): C … G … Am … Am … Em … Em …
verse 3
you try to Em slice the air between us with a C stainless .. two-edged Em sword
that’s a C strain on our relationship .. G we both can ill-Em-afford …
you say you Am like your independence, you like to BmE feel like you are free
but that C doesn’t make it right for you to G condescend to me
if you Em wanna make amends .. my C dear .. C .. C (n/c) put the apple back on the Em tree …
verse 4
many Em things go wrong on multiple levels C, try to live with one Em accord
don’t go C digging up old rocks for makin’ G pebbles just because your mind is Em bored …
you say you Am like your independence, you like to BmE feel like you are free
but that C doesn’t make it right for you to G condescend to me
if you Em wanna make amends .. my C dear .. C .. C (n/c) put the apple back on the Em tree …
end:
if you Em wanna make amends .. my C dear .. C .. C (n/c) put the apple back on the Em tree …
