[Ab] [F] [B] .
[C] [Ab] [F] [B] .
[C] [Ab] As I walk through the valley [Bb] where I harvest my [Ab] grain, I [B] take a look at my wife and [Cm] realize.
she's very plain.
[Ab] But that's just perfect [Fm] for an Amish like me.
You [B] know I shun fancy things like [C] electricity.
[Ab] At 4.
30.
in the morning [F] I'm milking cows.
[B] Jebediah feeds the chickens [C] and Jacob plows.
[Ab] Fool, and I've been milking [Fm] and plowing so long that [B] even Ezekiel thinks [C] that my mind is gone.
[Fm] I'm a man of the land, I'm into discipline.
[B] Got a Bible in my hand [C] and a beard on my chin.
But [Fm] if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine, [B] then tonight we're gonna party [C] like it's 1699.
[Fm] We've been spending most our lives [G] living in an [Cm] Amish paradise.
[Ab] I churn butter once or twice [G] living in an [Cm] Amish paradise.
[Ab] It's hard work [Fm] and sacrifice [G] living in an [Cm] Amish paradise.
[Ab] We sell quilts [Fm] at discount price [G] living in an [Cm] Amish paradise.
[F] A local boy kicked me in the butt last week.
I just smiled at him and I turned the other cheek.
I really don't care, in fact I wish him well.
Cause I'll be laughing my head off when he's burning in hell.
But [Fm] I ain't never punched a tourist even if he deserved it.
[B] An Amish with a toot, [Cm] you know that's unheard of.
[Ab] I never wear buttons [Fm] but I got a cool hat [B] and my homies agree I [C] really look good in black [Ab] fool.
If you come to visit [Fm] you'll be bored to tears.
We [B] haven't even paid the phone [C] bill in 300 years.
[Ab] But we ain't really quaint [F] so please don't point and stare.
[B] We're just technologically [C] impaired.
There's [Fm] no phone, no lights, [F] no motor car, [G] not a single [C] luxury.
[Ab] Like Robinson [F] Crusoe, it's [B] as primitive as [C] can be.
[Ab] We've been [Fm] spending most our lives [G] living in an [Cm] Amish [Gm] paradise.
[Ab] We're just plain [Fm] and simple guys [G] living in an [Cm] Amish paradise.
[Ab] There's no time [Fm] for sin and vice [G] living in an [Cm] Amish paradise.
[Ab] We don't fight, [Fm] we all play nice [G] living in an [Cm] Amish paradise.
[Ab] Hitching up the buggy, [F] churning lots of butter.
[B] Raise the barn on Monday, [C] soon I'll raise another.
[Ab] Think you're really righteous, [Fm] think you're pure in heart.
[G] Well I know I'm a million [Cm] times as humble as thou [Ab] art.
I'm the pious guy, the [Fm] little omelettes wanna be like [B] on my knees day and night.
[C] Scoring points for the afterlife.
[Ab] So don't be vain [Fm] and don't be whiny or [B] else my brother I might have to [Cm] get medieval on your hiney.
[Ab] We've been spending [Fm] most our lives [G] living in an [Cm] Amish paradise.
[Ab] We're all [Fm] crazy men and knights [G] living in an [C] Amish paradise.
[Ab] There's no cops [Fm] or traffic lights [G] living in an [Cm] Amish paradise.
[Ab] But you'd probably [Fm] think it's bikes [G] living in an [Cm] Amish paradise.
[Ab] [Fm] [G] [F] [Bb] [G] .
