Give Me The Simple Life(Chords)

	        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
