[Intro]
 G   G( 2x)
GI have wondered this world far and wide
GI've been all around to the other side
But there's nothin' like comin' hoDme
Nothin like comin' hoGme
GI wanna sit on my front porch and drink my lemonade
GCut my grass after church every Sunday
And go out Saturday niDght
Live the simple lGife
DWake up in the morning to these fields of gold
And tEmake a long walk down a gravel Droad
[Chorus]
GSpend my days in the sweet sunshine
GRock in my swing and watch my garden grow
DKnow that I'll always have someone to hold
OEmh I-I-I waDnna live the simple liGfe.
GI wanna take a blanket down to the creek
GAnd let the water sing me to sleep
Let go of tDime
Live the simple liGfe
DLately I've seen too many city lights
I wanna go Emsomewhere where I can see the stars at nDight
[Chorus]
GSpend my days in the sweet sunshine
GRock in my swing and watch my garden grow
DKnow that I'll always have someone to hold
OEmh I-I-I waDnna live the simple liGfe.
[Instrumental]
G D Em D G
[Chorus]
GSpend my days in the sweet sunshine
GRock in my swing and watch my garden grow
DKnow that I'll always have someone to hold
OEmh I-I-I waDnna live the simple liGfe.

[Intro]

G G

( 2x)

I have wondered this world far and wide

I've been all around to the other side

But there's nothin' like comin' home

Nothin like comin' home

I wanna sit on my front porch and drink my lemonade

Cut my grass after church every Sunday

And go out Saturday night

Live the simple life

Wake up in the morning to these fields of gold

Em D

And take a long walk down a gravel road

[Chorus]

Spend my days in the sweet sunshine

Rock in my swing and watch my garden grow

Know that I'll always have someone to hold

Em D G

Oh I-I-I wanna live the simple life.

I wanna take a blanket down to the creek

And let the water sing me to sleep

Let go of time

Live the simple life

Lately I've seen too many city lights

Em D

I wanna go somewhere where I can see the stars at night

[Chorus]

Spend my days in the sweet sunshine

Rock in my swing and watch my garden grow

Know that I'll always have someone to hold

Em D G

Oh I-I-I wanna live the simple life.

[Instrumental]

G D Em D G

[Chorus]

Spend my days in the sweet sunshine

Rock in my swing and watch my garden grow

Know that I'll always have someone to hold

Em D G

Oh I-I-I wanna live the simple life.
