Em
Life today is frittered away
              G     Gsus4  G
You've got to simplify
     Em
Each in our own way, we live for today
    G          Gsus4  G
And never know why


To stand in the road
    G7
And feel the wind blow
           C             Am
Across the sands of time
                  G      D
'Cause that's the simple life
    C                D7      G
You know I'd like to make it mine

G D Em
  Take your cars and your bars
                           G         Gsus4  G
And trade 'em all in for a nice wood fire
       Em
At the end of the day I know you will say
             G        Gsus4  G
You couldn't get much higher


To stand in the road
    G7
And feel the wind blow
           C             Am
Across the sands of time
                  G      D
'Cause that's the simple life
    C                D7      G
You know I'd like to make it mine

G D Em    G Gsus4 G    Em    G Gsus4 G


To stand in the road
    G7
And feel the wind blow
           C             Am
Across the sands of time
                  G      D
'Cause that's the simple life
    C                D7      G    D
You know I'd like to make it mine
    C                D7      G    D
You know I'd like to make it mine
    C                D7      Em       C    Am    G
You know I'd like to make it mine
