[Verse 1]
   D                                   G                    D
He lived by the apple orchard in this little old orchard shack
    D                                     G              A
His real name was Jackson Taylor, but I called him AppleJack
        D                           G           A
Now old AppleJack was loved by everyone he ever knew
G                  D              A               D
AppleJack picked apples, but he picked the banjo too

[Chorus]
       D                  G         D
Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
           G                      D
Oh, play a song for me and I'll sing
       D               G          D
Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
        G             A     D
Play a song, let your banjo ring

[Verse 2]
    D                          G             D
Now I'd go down to AppleJack's almost every day
      D                                     G            A
We'd sit and we'd drink applejack that old AppleJack had made
          D                               G              D
Then he'd take his banjo down, then he'd ask me if I'd sing
    G                 D              A             D
And he would play the banjo and I'd play my tambourine

[Chorus]
       D                  G         D
Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
           G                      D
Oh, play a song for me and I'll sing
       D               G          D
Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
        G             A     D
Play a song, let your banjo ring

[Verse 3]
     E                                 A             E
Now, that's when I was just a kid and now that I am grown
E                             A            B7
All I have are memories, old AppleJack is gone
        E                           A                E
Oh, but he left me his banjo and it always takes me back
    E            A           B7               E
And every time I play it, I still hear AppleJack

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

       E                A          E
Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
       E         A          B7
Play a song for me and I'll sing
       E               A          E
Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
        E             B7    E
Play a song, let your banjo ring

       E                A          E
Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
       E         A          B7
Play a song for me and I'll sing
       E               A          E
Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
        E             B7    E
Play a song, let your banjo ring
