Give Me The Simple Life

   Em7     A7       D             B7
I don't believe in frettin' and grievin'
C#m5-/7      F#7        Bm    D7
Why mess around with strife
   G        Gm      D            Bm7
I never was cut out to step and strut out
E7           Em7   A7
Give me the simple life
Em7           A7       D         B7
Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant
C#m5-/7       F#7          Bm    D7
Those things roll off my knife
      G          Gm      D           Bm7
Just serve me tomatoes; and mashed potatoes
E7           A7     D
Give me the simple life
bridge
  Em7      A7       D
A cottage small is all i'm after
Em7             A7           D
Not one that's spacious and wide
  C#m5-/7     F#7        Bm
A house that rings with joy and laughter
        E7        Em7    A7
And the ones you love inside
Em7           A7         D          B7
Some like the high road, i like the low road
C#m5-/7        F#7        Bm    D7
Free from the care and strife
       G          Gm     D         Bm7
Sounds corny and seedy, but yes, indeedy
E7           A7     D
Give me the simple life
