Now ole Adam was the first in history.

With an apple he was tempted and deceived.
          E               A
Just for spite the devil made him take a bite.

And that's where ol' Adam met his Waterloo.

And that's where Tom Dooley met his Waterloo.

Everything was pretty close until you modulated to F and F#. There's one F# chord in the verse part.(ie): E F# B With an apple, he was tempted and deceived You just need to work on transposing keys. I know the record modulates keys, but when Stonewall Jackson plays live,he just stays in the key of E. Watch his hands on YouTube video.Not bad for first try.Good luck!
