I Am a Simple Man Ricky Van Shelton
Simple Man
By Ricky Van Shelton
[D]I don’t know why you want to start with me
[D]I ain't done nothing as far as I can see
Aand I'm[A] worn out from working too hard
Wwhy don’t you give me [D]a break.
[D]I know that lately things ain’t been so good
[D]I'll make it up just like I told you I would
But I'm [A]tired and I wanna sit down
To ease the sore back[D]ache
Chorus:
You say your havin trouble [G]figuring me
I don’t believe I'm such a [D]mystery
Baby what you get is [A]what you see
I am a simple [D]man
I want a job and a [G]piece of land
Three squares in the [D]frying pan
Don’t seem so hard for me to [A]understand
I am a simple [D]man
You say we got some things to talk about
A lot of problems that we need to work out
But we just end up fighting
Wwhy dont you give it a rest.
I dont know what else I can say to you
I'm doing everything I know to do
And I cant give anything more
When I'm giving my best
solo
Bridge:
I want a place I can [G]lay my head
a soft woman and a [D]warm bed
a little time off be[A]fore I'm dead
I'm just a simple [D]man
