Intro:slowly

	Folks are blessed who make the most of everyday
    Em7       A13    Dmaj7 C#7#5b9
	living by their own philosophy
     F#m7       B13         Emaj7     Bdim
	everyone beneath the sun must find a way

     Bm7         Bm6       A7   A7#5
	and I've found the only way for me

    Em7    C#m7/11 C7b5 Bm7 D13
	why mess around  with  strife
	Gmaj7    Gm7   F#m7    Bm7

     Em7      E9     A7
	give me the simple life

	Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant
      Em7        C#m7/11 C7b5 Bm7 D13
	but those things roll off   my  knife
     Gmaj7      Gm7     F#m7       Bm7
	just feed me tomata's and mashed potata's

     Em7       A7    Dmaj7
	give me the simple life


Chorus: Em7   A13       Dmaj7 Adim
	A cottage small is all I'm after
    Em7     A13     Dmaj7 C#7#5b9
	not one too spacious and wide
     F#m7       B13          Emaj7     Bdim
	a house that rings with joy and laughter

        Bm7     Bm6     A7
	of the ones you love inside


Verse 3: Em7     A7    F#m7     B7
	Life could be thrilling for one who's willing

	to be a far -- mer's wife
     Gmaj7        Gm7       F#m7       Bm7
	kids calling me pappy could sure make me happy

     Em7       E9    A7
	give me the simple life


Verse 4:Em7     A7     F#m7     B7
	Some take the high road, I'll take the low road

	free from the care  and  strife
       Gmaj7       Gm7    F#m7     Bm7
