One More Bite of the Apple
By Neil Diamond (Album: Home Before Dark)
A D E A
Been away from you for much too long
D E A
Been away but now I'm back where I belong
D E
Believed while I was gone away
A E D A
That I'd do just fine
D E A
But I couldn't get the mu-sic off my mind
D E A
And I couldn't leave the needing you be-hind.
G D G D
Free the word from the page.
G D G D
Free the bird from the cage.
G D A D
Just go out there and face what you did before,
G D E
Did it once, you can do it once more.
Yeah
A D E D A D
Comin' back for one more bite of the ap-ple.
E D A
Taste is sweet.
D A
It's the nectar of life,
D A
And you know that it's right
D A E
'Cause you know you're not out there alone.
A D E D
And that one more bite of the ap - ple
A D E D
Is all you're gonna need to bring it home.
A D A D A D
A D E A
I couldn't count the chances that I've lost
D E A
Couldn't count the chanc - es or the cost.
D E A E D
But I can't help thinkin' 'bout the days of way back when,
A D E A
And I know I wanna taste them once again.
D E A D
Yes I know I wanna taste them once again.
G D G D
Got some things to be said.
G D G D
Goin' 'round in my head.
G D
Time to get out of bed
A D
'Cause I've slept too long,
G D E
And I know there's a place I belong
Yeah
A D E D A D
Comin' back for one more bite of the ap-ple.
E D A
Taste is sweet.
D A
It's the nectar of life,
D A
And you know that it's right
D A E
'Cause you know you're not out there alone.
A D E D
And that one more bite of the ap - ple
A D E D
Is all you're gonna need to bring it home.
A D A D A D
A D E A
Was a time that I won't ever forget.
D E A
They were times that I will never regret.
D E A E D
I've been thinkin' 'bout those days since way back then,
A D E A
And thinkin' I could bring them back again.
D E A D
Just maybe I could bring them back again.
G D G D
One more dance in the night
G D G D
One more chance to get it right
G D A D
One more grab at the brass ring that's fly - ing by
G D E
One more toast to the mud in your eye.
Yeah
A D E D A D
Comin' back for one more bite of the ap-ple.
E D A
Taste is sweet.
D A
It's the nectar of life,
D A
And you know that it's right
D A E
'Cause you know you're not out there alone.
A D
I'll be back
E D A D
Be sittin' up high on the sad - dle.
E D A
All I want
D A
Is to do it once more.
D A
Let me get through that door
D A E
'Cause I still do be - lieve that I can.
A D E D
Want that one more bite of the ap - ple
A D E D A
And just the chance to taste it once again.
A D A D A D
A D E A
Been a-round the world a time or two.
D E A
Everywhere I've been I've thought of me and you.
D E A E D A
I was hop - in' you'd re-member how it used to be
D E A
And may-be that you'd still remember me,
D E A
And that ap-ple just as sweet as it could be.
D E A D
Reach right up and pick one off of that apple tree.
