Track 7 of 12 on the album "Another Story" (1967) [Intro] C G D7 G [Verse 1]
     G                                               D7
Now, some folks think I'm lazy, some say, "He's just tired"

                                                              G
Some say I'm waiting on a gravy train from some rich fellow's yard

                                            G7                  C
But they don't know what it's all about, no matter how it may appear

                          G                      D7             G
I don't pass through this world but once, so I'm taking it easy here
[Chorus]
G                                              D7
Taking it easy here, my friend, taking it easy here

                                                                G
I don't pass through this world but once, so I'm taking it easy here

                                G7             C
Taking it easy here, my friend, taking it easy here

                          G                      D7             G
I don't pass through this world but once, so I'm taking it easy here
[Guitar Solo] C G D7 G [Verse 2]
     G                                                        D7
Now, some folks like the northern states, some folks like the South

                                                              G
Some run around like the gypsies do, just living from hand to mouth

                                       G7              C
But I don't want a lot of dough, just enough to feel secure

                          G                      D7             G
I don't pass through this world but once, so I'm taking it easy here
[Chorus]
G                                              D7
Taking it easy here, my friend, taking it easy here

                                                                G
I don't pass through this world but once, so I'm taking it easy here

                                G7             C
Taking it easy here, my friend, taking it easy here

                          G                      D7             G
I don't pass through this world but once, so I'm taking it easy here
[Guitar Solo] C G D7 G [Verse 3]
     G                                                       D7
Now, some folks like the eastern states, some folks like the West

                                              G
But to me, it's all the same just so I get my rest

                                             G7              C
My life's getting shorter every day, but the future holds no fear

                          G                      D7             G
I don't pass through this world but once, so I'm taking it easy here
[Chorus]
G                                              D7
Taking it easy here, my friend, taking it easy here

                                                                G
I don't pass through this world but once, so I'm taking it easy here

                                G7             C
Taking it easy here, my friend, taking it easy here

                          G                      D7             G
I don't pass through this world but once, so I'm taking it easy here
