[Verse 1]
F                                C
There's an old carthorse with a wiry mane
Dm                     Bb      Bbm
Pulls a cart along a country lane…
     F               E                 Am
Been rolling since before the break of day
Dm                   C7
Tending the Orchard, stacking up the hay
 
[Verse 2]
F                  C
The farmer sits holding the reins
Dm                        Bb       Bbm
Guiding the cart through Normandy lanes
F          E            Am
Slow and steady is the way!
Dm                                    C7
The way it was, the way it is, & the way it will remain...
     Fm
And so...
 
[Chorus]
    Db Eb       Fm
The apples they grow!
          Db  Eb       Fm
And into barrels will roll
Db Eb         Ab          Db
   Soon to become liquid gold,
       C
& the Calvados will flow.
 
[Verse 3]
F                         C
In the kitchen sits the farmer's wife
Dm                       Bb     Bbm
Picking her teeth with a pocket knife,
     F              E                 Am
Her soul a mess of blues and chicken wire,
   Dm                               C7
She brushes the dog, spits in the fire.
 
[Verse 4]
F                                 C
She takes down the bottle, takes down the glass,
Dm                    Bb   Bbm
And pours herself a tiny splash,
        F              E                Am
Of the serum from the sacred orchard's soil
         Dm                                C7
That's perfumed with the product of their blood and sweat and toil,
      Fm
And so…
 
[Chorus]
    Db Eb       Fm
The apples they grow!
          Db  Eb       Fm
And into barrels will roll
Db Eb         Ab          Db
   Soon to become liquid gold,
       C                     Fm
& the Calvados will flow.
    Db Eb       Fm
The apples they grow!
          Db  Eb       Fm
And into barrels will roll
Db Eb         Ab          Db
   Soon to become liquid gold,
       C
& the Calvados will flow.
