Tom Lawton - Simple Life Chords
Music and Lyrics by Tom Lawton - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw0DElCjUIY
Played capo 1st fret in standard tuning.
C Am F G
Sun on my shoulders, there's no clouds on my face
The waves roll in at such a wonderful pace
I'm cool with chillin', I don't need no race
F G
I'm gonna relax, lay back, pick a guitar and live the simple life.
C Am F G
Now Harri-Jo, she is a friend of mine
You'll find her with me most of the time
She rolls in meadows and she lays in sunshine
F G
And she's the one who taught me to always live the simple life.
C Am F G
If you can't hear it then just close your eyes
you'll hear the beauty that society hides
The singing birds and buzzing bees in hives
F G
Oh, what's hidden behind is the secret to the simple life.
F G
So if you wanna see what I see
C Am
Just close your eyes
F G
And if you wanna hear what I hear
C Am
Just quiet your mind
F G
And there you will find the simple life
C Am F G
So many people trading money in suits
They check their labels and they polish their boots
They use Ferrari's for a mile commute

F G
Oh they're stepping on your dreams and trying to keep you from your simple life.
C Am F G
No time for looking, they got no time to see
Just how beautiful this world can be
They're too concerned with machines and money
F G
Oh they're building up a wall between themselves and the simple life.
C Am F G
Gimme a call if you're needing a hand
Come sit beside me so they you understand
Toes in the water, got your ass in the sand
F G
Drift away with the breeze, and there you'll find the simple life.
F G
So if you wanna see what I see
C Am
Just close your eyes
F G
And if you wanna hear what I hear
C Am
Just quiet your mind
F G
And there you will find the simple life
F G
Well life goes by in the blink of an eye
C Am D7
And I wish that you could see just where you could be
G G7
Where you could be
C E Am D7
So I will walk you hand in hand right through this world of ours...
F G
Then you'll let go of me,
F G
Run wild and be free,
F G
'cos now you can see,
The simple life.
Outro... C Am F G
