Verse:

A D
Oh my mama told me
A E
'Cause she say she learned the hard way
A D
She say she wanna spare the children
D
She say don't give or sell your soul away
A E A
'Cause all that you have is your soul

Chorus:

D
So don't be tempted by the shiny apple
A
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
D
Hunger only for a taste of justice
A
Hunger only for a world of truth
E A
'Cause all that you have is your soul

Verse:

D
Well I was a pretty young girl once
A
I had dreams I had high hopes
E
I married a man he stole my heart away
D
He gave his love but what a high price I paid
A E A
All that you have is your soul

D
Why was I such a young fool
A
Thought I'd make history
Making babies was the best I could do
E
Thought I'd made something that could be mine forever
D
Found out the hard way one can't possess another
A E A
And all that you have is your soul

Chorus:

D
So don't be tempted by the shiny apple
A
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
D
Hunger only for a taste of justice
A
Hunger only for a world of truth
E A
'Cause all that you have is your soul

Verse:

D
I thought, thought that I could find a way
A
To beat the system
To make a deal and have no debts to pay
E
I'd take it all, I'd take it all, I'd run away
D
Me for myself first class and first rate
A E A
But all that you have is your soul

D
Here I am, I'm waiting for a better day
A
A second chance
A little luck to come my way
E
A hope to dream, a hope that I can sleep again
D
And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands
A E A
'Cause all that you have is your soul

Chorus:

D
So don't be tempted by the shiny apple
A
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
D
Hunger only for a taste of justice
A
Hunger only for a world of truth
E A
'Cause all that you have is your soul

Verse:

A D
Oh my mama told me
A E
'Cause she say she learned the hard way
A D
She say she wanna spare the children
D
She say don't give or sell your soul away
A E A
'Cause all that you have is your soul

Coda:

A D
All that you have
A D
All that you have
A E
All that you have
A
Is your soul
