C                                     F              C
He lived by the apple orchard in this little orchard shack
                                              F         G7
His real name was Jackson Taylor but I called him Apple Jack
        C                                F       C
Now old Apple Jack was loved by everyone he ever knew
                                G7               C
Apple Jack picked apples but he picked the banjo too

Play a song for me Apple Jack  Apple Jack
                            G7
Play a song for me and I'll sing
       C                 F           C
Play a song for me Apple Jack  Apple Jack
                      G7    C
Play a song  let your banjo ring

Verse 3

Now I'd go down to Apple Jack's almost everyday
                                           F              G7
We'd sit and we'd drink applejack that old Apple Jack had made
          C                                 F         C
Then he'd take his banjo down then he'd ask me if I'd sing
                                    G7      C
And he would play the banjo and I'd play my tambourine

Verse 2

                         F           C
Play a song for me Apple Jack  Apple Jack
                            G7
Play a song for me and I'll sing
       C                 F           C
Play a song for me Apple Jack  Apple Jack
                      G7    C
Play a song  let your banjo ring

That's when I was just a kid and now that I am grown
                                          G7
All I have are memories old Apple Jack is gone
           C                        F               C
Oh  but he left me his banjo and it always takes me back
                           G7               C
And every time I play it I still hear Apple Jack
