I have no idea who wrote it or who performs it for the movie. I don't Know the title But I'm guessing that it is called: "The Simple Life" slowly Folks are blessed who make the most of everyday #5b9 living by their own philosophy everyone beneath the sun must find a way #5 and I've found the only way for me I don't believe in frettin' and grievin' C7b5 why mess around with strife I never was cut out to step and strut out give me the simple life Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant C7b5 but those things roll off my knife just feed me tomata's and mashed potata's give me the simple life A cottage small is all I'm after #5b9 not one too spacious and wide a house that rings with joy and laughter of the ones you love inside Life could be thrilling for one who's willing C7b5 to be a far -- mer's wife kids calling me pappy could sure make me happy give me the simple life Some take the high road, I'll take the low road C7b9 free from the care and strife sounds corny and seedy but yes indeedy give me the simple life Ending: Give me the simple life chords: intro: #5b9 #5 C7b5 If anyone can tell me who wrote this tune please e-mail me at dmeta@quadro.net If you aren't familiar with these chords or style, I would recommend Mickey Baker's Complete Course in Jazz Guitar-book 1; if it is still in print.
