[Chorus]
C C7 F F7
Look for the... bare ne - cessities, the simple bare ne - cessities,
C A7 D7 G7
For - get about your worries, and your strife,
C C7 F F7
I mean, the... bare ne - cessities, ol' Mother Nature's recipes,
C A7 D7 G7 C F7 C
That bring the bare ne - cessi - ties of life!
[Verse 1]
G7 C
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam,
G7 C
I couldn't be fonder... of my big home,
C7 F Fm C D7
The bees are buzzin' in the tree to make some honey just for me,
Am7 A7
When you look under the rocks and plants,
Dm7 D7 G7 C A7
And take a glance at the fancy ants, then maybe try a few,
Dm7 G7 C
The bare ne - cessities of life will come to you,
Am Dm7 G7 C F7 C
They'll come to you!
[Chorus]
C C7 F F7
Look for the... bare ne - cessities, the simple bare ne - cessities,
C A7 D7 G7
For - get about your worries, and your strife,
C C7 F F7
I mean, the... bare ne - cessities, that's why a bear can rest at ease,
C A7 D7 G7 C F7 C
With just the bare ne - cessi - ties of life!
[Verse 2]
G7 C
Now, when you pick a paw -paw, or a prickly pear,
G7 C
And you prick a raw paw, well, next time... beware,
C7 F Fm
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw,
C D7
When you pick a pear try to use the claw,
Am7 A7
But you don't need to use the claw,
Am7 D7 G7 C A7
When you pick a pair of the big paw-paw! Have I given you a clue?
Dm7 G7 C
(Golly, thanks, Baloo!) The bare ne - cessities of life will come to you,
Am Dm7 G7 C F7 C
They'll come to you!

C
Oh, man, this is really living!
[Verse 3]
C C/B C/A G7/D G7 G7/D G7 C C/G C
So just try and re - lax! Yeah, cool it! Fall apart...in my back yard!
C C/B C/A G7/D
'Cause, let me tell you something, Little Britches,
G7 G7/D G7 C C/G
If you keep acting like that bee acts...uh - uh, you're working too hard,
C7 F Fm
And don't spend your time looking a - round..
C A7
For something you want, that can't be found,
Am7 A7
When you find out you can live without it,
Dm7 D7 G7 C A7
And go along not thinking a - bout it, I'll tell you something true,
A7 Dm7 G7 C F7
The bare ne - cessities of life will come to you!
