[Intro] 
C
C
Hey, when was the last time you sat down and had dinner with your kids?
Talked about what's going on in their lives?
F
Hey, when was the last time you just stopped and helped somebody out?
C
I bet you can't remember
Am
Well a lot of people are sayin'
Bb
"We're changing for the better"
C                              F   G
Well that don't interest me
           C
I like the simple life
           Am
The way it used to be
           Bb
We left our doors wide open
           F
We didn't need no key
           C
I've been around the world
           Am
Seen all there is to see
           Bb                    F
I'd trade all those memories for one more day
           C
How it used to be
I like the Simple Life
C
I wanna get up Sunday mornin' Go fishin' with my boy
Watch the sunset kick back in my yard
F
Take my Harley on a real long lazy Sunday drive
C
And do a little more nothin' once in a while
Am
Yeah maybe kick my feet up
Bb
Watch a little re-run on TV
Am                        F             G
Laughin' with ol' Barney, Andy and Aunt Bee

I like the simple life

The way it used to be

I've been around the world

Am                        F
Everything's moving by so fast
C                         Am
I swear sometimes we just can't see
C                         F
So caught up in where we're trying to get
                             G
Life as we know it, could be gone in a minute
           C
I like the simple life
