SONG: SIMPLE GIFTS ARTIST: JESSE WELLES TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: [email protected] [Intro] Em G C Em G C Am Am [Verse]
             Em                G
Slouching towards the sky's extent

        C
On the edges of a waste

                Em            G
With something darker than a hope

           C
Something brighter than a fate

            Em
And in the saddle of my tauntaun

      C
Is a sapphire studded ring

       G
And I keep it to remind me

      Am
Who I am and what I'll be

       C
Mm mm mmm
[Chorus]
Em             G
When true simplicity is gained

 C
How much have we lost

G    Am
I invested in them feelings

        C               Em     G  C
I paid dearly for them thoughts
Em G C Am7 Am7 [Verse]
        Em             G             C
In the cockpit of the spacecraft unknown
With an acquaintance
      Em              G
It occurred to me my mind was probably

C
Overdue for maintenance

        Am7
I wanna lay beneath the grass

      C
So I never leave a mark

         G         Em
I wanna exhale oxygen

        Am
Like a tree out in the park

       C
Mm mm mmm
[Chorus]
Em             G
When true simplicity is gained

 C
How much then is lost

G    Am
I invested in these feelings

        C                Em
I paid dearly for these thoughts

 Em            G
When true simplicity is gained

       C
Can I then be self-assured

 G    Am
How I envy all them stones

          C           Em   B7   Em   Am
How they never say a word
[Instrumental] G G Am7 Am7 D7 D7 G C G [Break]
        G
On the calculus,abacus
In the highest wizard station
 D                                 Em
Lord I hope he's pulling beads for me

           A7
I want to count

                            D  C  G
But we all pout the same amount
[Chorus]
Em             G
When true simplicity is gained

 C
How much then is lost

G    Am
I invested in these feelings

        C               Em
I paid dearly for these thoughts

 Em            G
When true simplicity is gained

       C
Can I then be self-assured

 G    Am
How I envy all them stones

            C           Em   G
They don't never say a word
