[Verse]
C G
When I pay my bills
F C
Gonna leave these Tennessee hills
Am G
Take my lady to the sea
C G
That's where we both come from
F C
That's where we both belong
Am G
Think I'll go back to the Keys
[Chorus]
F C
'Cause I don't want the fame that brings confusion
F Am
Where people recognize you on a plane
F C
All I want's the quiet and the comforts
D G C
That livin' with my lovely lady brings
[Verse]
C G F C
Somehow we survived the double talk and jive
Am G
Things are looking better all the time
C G F C
I owe her all I can 'cause she made me understand
Am G
The simple way that we should live our lives
[Chorus]
F C
And I don't want the fame that brings confusion
F G Am
Where people recognize you on a plane
F C
All I want's the quiet and the comforts
D G C
That livin' with my lovely lady brings
[Verse]
C G F C
Let me tell you now she can eat her own weight up in crab meat
Am G
And there's plenty of that down there by the sea
C G F
Well we're sailin' in those warm December breezes
C Am G
Sendin' picture postcards back to Tennessee
[Chorus]
F C
Yes and I don't want the fame that brings confusion
F G Am
Where people recognize you on a plane
F C
All I want's the quiet and the comforts
D G C
That livin' with my lovely lady brings
D G C
Yeah that livin' with my lovely lady brings
