Intro:  Ab   Fm   G  Cm  
Verse 1:
As I Abwalk through the valley where I Fmharvest my grain 
I take a Glook at my wife and realCmize she's very plain 
But tAbhat's just perfect for an FmAmish like me 
You know I Gshun fancy things like eCmlectricity 
At Ab4:30 in the morning I'm mFmilkin' cows 
GJebediah feeds the chickens and CmJacob plows fool 
And AbI've been milkin' and Fmplowin' so long that 
GEven Ezekiel thinks that my Cmmind is gone 
I'm a Abman of the land, I'm Fminto discipline 
Got a GBible in my hand and a Cmbeard on my chin 
But if I Abfinish all of my chores and Fmyou finish thine 
Then Gtonight we're gonna party like it's 1Cm699 
Chorus 1:
  AbWe been spending Fmmost our lives living iGn an Amish pCmaradise 
  AbI've churned butter Fmonce or twice living Gin an Amish Cmparadise 
  AbIt's hard work and Fmsacrifice living Gin an Amish Cmparadise 
  AbWe sell quilts at Fmdiscount price living Gin an Amish pCmaradise 
Verse 2:
A lAbocal boy kicked me in the Fmbutt last week 
I just sGmiled at him and I tCmurned the other cheek 
I rAbeally don't care, in fact I Fmwish him well 
'Cause I'll be lGaughing my head off when he's bCmurning in Hell 
But I Abain't never punched a tourist even Fmif he deserved it 
An AGmish with a 'tude? You Cmknow that's unheard of 
I nAbever wear buttons but I gFmot a cool hat 
And my Ghomies agree I really lCmook good in black fool 
AbIf you come to visit, you'll be Fmbored to tears 
We haven't Geven paid the phone bill in Cm300 years 
But we Abain't really quaint, so Fmplease don't point and stare 
We're Gjust technologically Cmimpaired

Like AbRobinson CFmaruso it's as pGrimitive as can Cmbe 
Chorus 2:
  AbWe been spending Fmmost our lives living Gin an Amish CmParadise

AbHitchin' up the buggy, Fmchurnin' lots of butter 
GRaised a barn on Monday, sCmoon I'll raise an 'utter 
AbThink you're really righteous? FmThink you're pure in heart? 
Well, I Gknow I'm a million time as Cmhumble as thou art 
AbI'm the pious guy the little FmAmlettes want to be like 
On my kGnees day and night scorin' pCmoints for the afterlife 
AbSo don't be vain and doFmn't be whiny 
Or else, Gmy brother, I might have to get mCmedieval on your heinie 
Chorus 3:
