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.
