Subject: crd: "The Simple Life" from the movie " Father of the Bride"

This song comes from the movie "Father of the Bride".
I have no idea who wrote it or who performs it for the
movie. I don't Know the title But I'm guessing that it is
called:
"The Simple Life"

Em7 A13 Dmaj7 Adim
Intro:slowly
Folks are blessed who make the most of everyday
Em7 A13 Dmaj7 C#7#5b9
living by their own philosophy
F#m7 B13 Emaj7 Bdim
everyone beneath the sun must find a way
Bm7 Bm6 A7 A7#5
and I've found the only way for me

Verse 1: Em7 A7 F#m7 B7
I don't believe in frettin' and grievin'
Em7 C#m7/11 C7b5 Bm7 D13
why mess around with strife
Gmaj7 Gm7 F#m7 Bm7
I never was cut out to step and strut out
Em7 E9 A7
give me the simple life

Verse 2: Em7 A7 F#m7 B7
Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant
Em7 C#m7/11 C7b5 Bm7 D13
but those things roll off my knife
Gmaj7 Gm7 F#m7 Bm7
just feed me tomata's and mashed potata's
Em7 A7 Dmaj7
give me the simple life

Chorus: Em7 A13 Dmaj7 Adim
A cottage small is all I'm after
Em7 A13 Dmaj7 C#7#5b9
not one too spacious and wide
F#m7 B13 Emaj7 Bdim
a house that rings with joy and laughter
Bm7 Bm6 A7
of the ones you love inside

Verse 3: Em7 A7 F#m7 B7
Life could be thrilling for one who's willing
Em7 C#m7/11 C7b5 Bm7 D13
to be a far -- mer's wife
Gmaj7 Gm7 F#m7 Bm7
kids calling me pappy could sure make me happy
Em7 E9 A7
give me the simple life

Verse 4:Em7 A7 F#m7 B7
Some take the high road, I'll take the low road
Em7 C#m7/11 C7b9 Bm7 D13
free from the care and strife
Gmaj7 Gm7 F#m7 Bm7
sounds corny and seedy but yes indeedy
Em7 A7 Dmaj7
give me the simple life

Em7 A7 Dmaj7 D6/9
Ending: Give me the simple life
