E                                  A              E 
He lived by the apple orchard in this little orchard shack
                                       A          B7 
His real name was Jackson Taylor but I called him Apple Jack
        E                           A            E
Now old Apple Jack was loved by everyone he ever knew
                                B7               E
Apple Jack picked apples but he picked the banjo too


[Chorus]
       E                 A           E  
Play a song for me Apple Jack, Apple Jack
       E                    B7 
Play a song for me and I'll sing
       E                 A           E  
Play a song for me Apple Jack, Apple Jack
       E              B7    E
Play a song, let your banjo ring


[Verse 1]
E                               A           E
Now I'd go down to Apple Jack's almost everyday
                                           A              B7 
We'd sit and we'd drink applejack that old Apple Jack had made
          E                             A             E
Then he'd take his banjo down then he'd ask me if I'd sing
                                    B7            E
And he would play the banjo and I'd play my tambourine


[Chorus]
       E                 A           E  
Play a song for me Apple Jack, Apple Jack
       E                    B7 
Play a song for me and I'll sing
       E                 A           E  
Play a song for me Apple Jack, Apple Jack
       E              B7    E
Play a song, let your banjo ring


[Verse 2]
E                                A             E 
That's when I was just a kid and now that I am grown
                             A             B7 
All I have are memories, old Apple Jack is gone
        E                           A               E
Oh, but he left me his banjo and it always takes me back
                            B7               E
And every time I play it, I still hear Apple Jack


[Chorus]
       E                 A           E  
Play a song for me Apple Jack, Apple Jack
       E                    B7 
Play a song for me and I'll sing
       E                 A           E  
Play a song for me Apple Jack, Apple Jack
       E              B7    E
Play a song, let your banjo ring


[Verse 3]

      E                          A             E 
That's when I was just a kid and now that I am grown
                             A             B7 
All I have are memories, old Apple Jack is gone
        E                           A               E
Oh, but he left me his banjo and it always takes me back
                            B7               E
And every time I play it, I still hear Apple Jack


[Chorus]
       E                 A           E  
Play a song for me Apple Jack, Apple Jack
       E                    B7 
Play a song for me and I'll sing
       E                 A           E  
Play a song for me Apple Jack, Apple Jack
       E              B7    E
Play a song, let your banjo ring


[Verse 4]
       E                         A              E 
That's when I was just a kid and now that I am grown
                             A             B7 
All I have are memories, old Apple Jack is gone
        E                           A               E
Oh, but he left me his banjo and it always takes me back
                            B7               E
And every time I play it, I still hear Apple Jack
