Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Hey, when was the last time you sat down and had dinner with your kids?

Talked about what's going on in their lives?

Hey, when was the last time you just stopped and helped somebody out?

I bet you can't remember

Well a lot of people are sayin'

"We're changing for the better"

Well that don't interest me

I like the simple life

The way it used to be

We left our doors wide open

We didn't need no key

I've been around the world

Seen all there is to see

I'd trade all those memories for one more day

How it used to be

I like the Simple Life

I wanna get up Sunday mornin'

Go fishin' with my boy

Watch the sunset kick back in my yard

Take my Harley on a real long lazy Sunday drive

And do a little more nothin' once in a while

Yeah maybe kick my feet up

Watch a little re-run on TV

Laughin' with ol' Barney, Andy and Aunt Bee

I like the simple life

The way it used to be

We left our doors wide open

We didn't need no key

I've been around the world

Seen all there is to see

I'd trade all those memories for one more day

How it used to be

I like the Simple Life

Solo

Everything's moving by so fast

I swear sometimes we just can't see

So caught up in where we're trying to get

Life as we know it, could be gone in a minute

I like the simple life

The way it used to be

We left our doors wide open

We didn't need no key

I've been around the world

Seen all there is to see

I'd trade all those memories for one more day

I like the Simple Life

I like the Simple Life

(ends with ]

I want the Simple Life
