Chords for Graham Nash ~ "Simple Man" ~ 09.26.13 City Winery

Rock.
_ _ Thank you!
[Db] You're awesome!
It's one of the great things about singing on my own, because if I fuck up, so what? _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ The lady that I met earlier wanted me to do this song.
_ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [C] Thanks, Graham. _ _
Love you, baby!
[Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ Here's what's going on. _
_ [B] _ _ _ Joni and I had broken up, but nobody knew about it, [N] and CSNY was playing at the Fillmore East here, down in the village.
Yeah!
In _ 1979.
_ _ _ _ I'd written this song about Joni because I wanted her to know that I _ just wanted to hold her.
I didn't want to hold her down, right?
So I'd written this song, and I decided that I'm going to play it for the very first time.
I get in front of the microphone and I look up, and there's Joni sitting in the third row. _ _ _
_ Fuck. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ I am a simple man, _ [Em] so why sing with love?
_ _ _ [Am] Never been [G] so much in love, _ [F] I've never hurt so bad.
At [Em] the [C] same time, [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I am a simple man, so [Em] I play a simple tune.
_ _ [Am] I wish that I [G] could see you once [F] again across the moon, _ [C] like the first _ _ [G] time.
_ _ [F] Just want to hold you, don't want to hold [C] you down.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [F] Hear what you're saying, you're spinning my [C] head around, but [Em] I can't [G] make it [F] _
alone.
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ [C] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Spacing, _ _ _ _ _ the ending of the tale, _ [Em] is the singing of this song. _
_ _ [Am] Made me proud to [Em] be your man, only [F] you can make me strong, _ _ [Em] like the last time.
_ [G] _
_ _ [F] Just want to hold you, don't want to hold you [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [F] down.
Hear what you're saying, you're spinning my [C] head around, but I [G] can't make it [F] alone. _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
