Chords for Annie Ross with Gerry Mulligan Quartet - Give Me the Simple Life

[N] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _
I [G] _ [C] don't believe in [F] fretting [D] and grieving, [Bb] why mess around with strife.
[Ab]
Cause [G] I never was cut [C] out to step and strut out, [F] give me [G] the simple life.
_ Some find it pleasant, [F] dying and [G] unfeasant, those things roll [D] off my [Fm] knife.
[G] Just serve me tomatoes [C] and mashed potatoes, [Gm] I [C] want the simple life.
[F] _ A [C] cottage small is all I'm [Gm] after, not one that is [C] spacious and [F] wide.
Just a house that rocks with [A] joy and [Dm] laughter, [G] and the one you love inside.
_ _ [Gm] Some take the [C] high road, I'll take the low road, free from the care and strife.
_ [G] Sounds a corn and a seedy, [C] but a ooh, a [D] yes [Bb] indeedy, give [F] me the simple life. _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [F] Living I find is best when your mind [Bb] is keen at the carving [D] knife.
[Ab] Well [G] I'm crazy about sleep, [C] can't do without sleep, give me [Dm] the simple life.
[C] _ Some [F] find it pleasant, [Gm] dying and unfeasant, those things roll off [Dm] my knife.
[Ab] Oh give [G] me a Cadillac car and [C] crazy caviar, I want the [F] simple life.
_ [Gm]
A little [G] villa is [C] all that I'm after, [Bb] _
not one [C] that's spacious and wide.
[F] _
Or a penthouse on top of [D] the aster, _ [G] with [Ab] Marlon Brando inside.
[Gm] _ You take [F] your high road, I like the [Dm] road, free from the care and strife.
[C] _ Sounds a corn and [Gm] a seedy, [Ab] but a ooh, [G] a yes indeedy, give me [C] the simple life.
[Fm] When you've got diamond rings [Ab] and clothing [G] things, and when you've dined on imported wine.
And you don't give a hoot, cause [Fm] you've got loots of booze, [Bb] you've got the simple [G] life. _ _
