This is the chord progression of Apple Tree by AURORA on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

[Verse 1]
All of my life I’ve been hunting
I’ve been a girl, I’ve been a boy
Digging my feet into the ground like an apple tree
Wanted to live with a purpose
Skin is a word, love is not a sin
PeoPle are bad, people are good
Just like the moon is a stone
But it’s a star when it’s dark and now she’s hiding

[Pre-Chorus]
F G
If you’ve seen where the heart is, you’ve seen it’s color
Cmaj7 G Em
If I ever knew how we could guide it
F G
I will take care of its children, become their mother
Cmaj7 G
If I ever knew how we could hide it, hide it (Ah-ah)

Am
Let her save the world, she is just a girl
D
Let him save the world, he is just a boy
Am
Let her save the world, she is just a girl
D
Let him save the world, he is just a boy

[Verse 2]
Am
Hunger is quiet if you do it right
D
Hunter is loud and predictable, scaring away every prey
So they’re gone before the hunter arrives
Am
Would you be kind and put away your sword?
You cannot cut away what we’ve got
D
You cannot kill what we are
We are not here in physical form
