[Verse 1] G I know the Bible isn’t perfect G , ‘Cause it left one person out G , There was Adam there was Eve G , , And there was someone else around C , Yeah I think his name was Steve D , And he was passing through town
G , When he heard a snake a-whispering G , , To Adam in the garden G , “Take the fruit it’s good for you” G , Steve said “I beg your pardon C , I know it’s not my business DG But will you just hear me out”
[Pre-Chorus] G , He said “I wouldn’t lie C You should not go to that tree D , ,G The serpent knows the apple grows from a forbidden seed G Oh you want what you can’t have C But you’ve got all the things you need” D , ,G There was Adam there was Eve and there was Steve
[Chorus] GCDG He said “Adam don’t be fooled by the snake CDG Don’t risk it all for a taste DEmDC Oh what a waste DG To have everything and give it all away”
