r version which sounds right then I watched her perform this and she used these 
chords, which is a bit easier and can embellish a bit more. e.g C and F some 
hammers and from the A chord slide first finger (E) up two frets to F#. I'm no pro 
and this is my first one and I took the lyrics from the first version so cheers to 
that guy as well.

All the chords relative to the capo and all the work done down that end.

CAPO I

F7
We got the last of the apples,
C
Rosy just from the weather,
Bb        F       A       
An orchard map spread out green and red.
F7
A ten-cent yellow hat,
C
Rotten fruit kicked off the path.
Bb                F
Our hands in our pockets
        A
And our pockets in our pants.

F7                         C
Racing out ahead to be the reddest heart beat beating,
Bb          F             A
Out on the scene busting blood through a young body.
F7
A puddle with a jacket cap,
C
A picnic in a mountain pass,
Bb          F      A
A taste of summer coming back:
         D 
A summer swam by a foggy dam.
Bm             G             A
A Poughkeepsie scam around a mountain bend.
           D                        Bm
The season changed, the best of us changed.
               G                        A
The rest of us stuck behind to keep the silver shined.

Bb, C, D

F7
A piano in a window bay
C
A straight back with a ribboned braid
Bb         F           A
Blue Ridge brick in an almond shade
F7
A chin on a worn-out wrist.
C
A magnet with a grocery list says:
Bb     F      A
My, oh my, my toes get tired,
F7             C          Bb  F7    A
But I dont let on, or let go—I sing along.



F7
Back home Ive got a couple friends
C
We drink together on the weekends
Bb           F                A
We keep our nails trimmed and fingers tough.
F7
I’ve got a felt hat collection,
C
A dresser drawer to put my pants in.
Bb             F            A
What, oh, what more could a woman want?
F7
I want an overhaul for my guitar,
C
A string endorsement and a shiney new car.
Bb       F           A
Piles of fruit and a fully stocked bar.
F7
Money for a flight out west,
C
Cute shoes and a vintage dress,
Bb       F                 A
Big, new houses for all my relatives.
           D        Bm        
I want to land in a tugging hand:
           G          A
A youthful bed with a youthful plan.
          D               Bm
I want to wait and take my time,
       G                 A
All my time, and keep my silver shined.

 
Bb, C, D
