Chords for Lynyrd Skynyrd "Simple Life" on SIRIUS XM Artist Confidential

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] The new CD, God and Guns, seems to be a lot of re-evaluating of your life on this.
You're re-examining, especially on Simple Life.
I get the sense you're kind of looking in and seeing what's important, like what's really
important and how do you do that in your own lives?
You're on the road so much, it must be incredibly difficult.
You know what, I talk to my family personally probably 10, 15 times a day.
I'm the worst.
I left my phone at the hotel room because I figured somewhere along the line I'd forgot
to turn it off.
I'd be like, honey, I'll get the bread next week, okay?
_ _ _ I stay _ in touch with them that way.
_ _ We love our families.
I think the older you get, _ especially when you start losing people, you really got to
think about life in general.
Well, loss has always been such a huge part of this band.
You know what, my theory is this.
I've been in this band 22 years.
You take any family, probably any of you folks here, in 22 years, you probably lost two or
three people in that particular family.
Leonard Skinner's a big family. _
_ That's part of living.
If you live long enough, you're going to experience this kind of stuff.
I just believe there's a better place.
There's a lot better than where we're at right now.
That's part of what Simple Life is about too.
It's really just getting back to what's important.
My general thought about this is a lot of that whole chorus is when you're a kid, how
simple things are.
Then of course your life gets complicated [D] and you have kids and [C#] you have to make money
and you have to go out and do things.
Boy, wouldn't it be nice just to turn back the clock just one day? _ _
Well, let's hear the song because you do in this song.

[C#] I bet you can't remember. _

[F#] _
