The Charlie Daniels Band – Simple Man (Ukulele)

G
I ain't nothin' but a simple man

     F
They call me a redneck I reckon that I am

            C
But there's things going on 

                             G
That make me mad down to the core.

        F
There's crooked politicians and crime in the street

        C                                          G
And I'm madder'n hell and I ain't gonna take it no more.

G
We tell our kids to just say no 

          F
Then some panty waist judge lets a drug dealer go

C                                                            G
Slaps him on the wrist and then he turns him back out on the town. 

G
Now if I had my way with people sellin' dope

           F
I'd take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope

    C                                                    G
I'd hang 'em up high and let 'em swing 'til the sun goes down

          F
Well, you know what's wrong with the world today

C
People done gone and put their Bible's away 

        F                        C                         G
They're living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land

F
The good book says it so I know it's the truth 

C
An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth

           G                      F
You better watch where you go and remember where you been

C                                    G
That's the way I see it I'm a Simple Man.

G
Now I'm the kinda man that'd not harm a mouse

         F
But if I catch somebody breakin in my house

         C                                         G
I've got twelve guage shotgun waiting on the other side

G
So don't go pushing me against my will 

        F
I don't want to have to fight you but I dern sure will

  C                                                            G
So if you don't want trouble then you'd better just pass me on by

G
As far as I'm concerned there ain't no excuse

        F
For the raping and the killing and the child abuse

    C                                        G
And I've got a way to put an end to all that mess

G
Just take them rascals out in the swamp 

F
Put 'em on their knees and tie 'em to a stump

        C                                               G
Let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest

    F
You know what's wrong with the world today

C
People done gone and put their Bible's away 

        F                        C                         G
They're living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land

 F
The Good Book says it so I know it's the truth 

C
An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth

G                                 F
You better watch where you go and remember where you been

C                                    G
That's the way I see it I'm a Simple Man
