Capo on 2nd fret
[Intro]
D  E  A7  D  A
[Verse 1]
You Afound your greener pasture in a Dmansion on a hill
With a Aflashy foreign car to drive and Dlots of time to kEill
Lord, my Amind keeps on remembering the A7days of me and Dyou
When we were Edown to A7nothing.D.. nothing Asure looked Egood on AyouA7  
[Chorus]
You Dsaid you needed Esimple things that DI had plenty Aof
And Dthrough the days of Adark and rain, we could Dalways live on Elove
With his Astyle of life, he lured you and A7you could not reDfuse
But when we were Edown to A7nothing.D.. nothing Asure looked Egood on Ayou
[Interlude]
D  E  A7  D  A
[Verse 2]
When you Ahoneymooned in Paris, it was Dcarried on the news
And I Aheard you laughed your cares away on a DCaribbean Ecruise
You were Aalways one for dreaming, now your A7dreams can all come Dtrue
But when we were Edown to A7nothing.D..  nothing Asure looked Egood on AyouA7  
[Chorus]
You Dsaid you needed Esimple things that DI had plenty Aof
And Dthrough the days of Adark and rain, we could Dalways live on Elove
With his Astyle of life, he lured you and A7you could not reDfuse
But when we were Edown to A7nothing.D.. nothing Asure looked Egood on AyouA7  
Yes, when Dwe were Edown to A7nothing.D.. nothing Asure looked Egood on Ayou
