[Intro] G D G [Chorus]
G                     C
  I want a simple life

        G
Like my mother.

                           D
One true love for my older years.

                  G   C
I don't want your wars

           G
To take my children.

                    D          G
I want a simple life while I'm here.
[Verse 1]
D                                      G
  The sun and moon walk hand in hand together,

D                               G
  Trading places shining on the truth.

    C                             G
The moon moves the bottoms of the oceans

       D                                 G
So the sun can bring a farmer's hands to you.
[Chorus]
                    C
I want a simple life

        G
Like my mother.

                           D
One true love for my older years.

                  G   C
I don't want your wars

           G
To take my children.

                    D          G
I want a simple life while I'm here.
[Verse 2]
D                            G
  We all seek comfort in the light of day,

        D                         G
And our tears can wash off in the rain.

C                            G
  Everything we need is all around us

D                           G
  In simple time and simple ways.
[Bridge]
Em
Mother nature talks,

D
Whispering her thoughts

       G                  C
So the paths we choose to cross

              D
Walk one more day.
[Chorus]
                G   C
I want a simple life

        G
Like my mother.

                           D
One true love for my older years.

                  G   C
I don't want your wars

           G
To take my children.

                    D          G    C
I want a simple life while I'm here.
[Outro]
                G   D          G C G
I want a simple life while I'm here.
