An actual acoustic song from this “acoustic punk” band. This is a nifty
little song that I thought I’d share with everyone. Enjoy.
Intro: D(strum once)
Verse:(accapella w/ a really bad English accent)
If I were an apple, hanging on a tree,
I’d give myself to the first green worm,
And together we would be.
He’d make a little hole and live inside of me,
He would be my best friend,
And he’d keep me company.
1,2,3,4
DIf I Gwere an apple, hanging on a tree,
DI’d give myself to the first green worm,
AAnd together we would be.
DHe’d make Ga little hole and live inside of me,
DHe would be my best friend,
AAnd he’d keep me company.
DBut I am not an applGe, hanging on a tree. (No, No)
DI am nothing but an Aempty human being.
DBut Jesus wants to come Gand live inside of me,
DAnd be mAy best friend, and keep me company.
Break:
Whistling over the top of DGDA.
Verse:
DBut I am not an applGe, hanging on a tree. (No, No)

DBut Jesus wants to come Gand live inside of me,

DHe wants Gto show me his way, And He will never leave me,

The perfect plan he has, for Him and for me.
