Tom Wopat - 'Simple Man' (Acoustic) chords
Start Jamming...
I bought my first guitar because of the Beatles.
Then of course there's James Taylor and Joni Mitchell
and Bob Dylan, Crosby, Stills and Nash.
This is a Graham Nash tune that has struck a chord with me.
The first few times I worked on it,
I couldn't get through it without weeping.
So I guess getting to be an old guy, it strikes a chord.
It's called Simple Man.
[F] [Bb]
[F] [Bb]
[F]
I am a simple man and [Am] I sing a simple [D] song.
[A] [Dm]
[Am] Never been so much in love [Bb] and never hurt so bad.
[F] At the same time, I'm a simple man and [A] I sing a simple tune.
[Am] [Dm]
[C] Wish that I could see you [Bb] once again across the room.
[F]
Like the first time, [Bb] I just wanna hold you.
Don't wanna hold you [F] down.
[C] [Bb] I hear what you're saying and it's spinning my head around.
[F] [C] But I can't make [Bb] it alone.
[F]
[Am]
[Dm]
[Am] [C] [Bb]
[F] [F]
Now the ending of the tale is [A] the singing of the song.
[Am] [D] [Dm]
Make me [C] proud to be your man.
[Bb] Only you can make me strong.
[F] Like the last time, [Bb] I just wanna hold you.
Don't wanna hold [F] you down.
[C] [Bb] I hear what [Dm] you're saying and it's [Bb] spinning my [F] world around.
[C] I can't make it [Bb] alone.
That's right.
[F] I [C] can't, [D] can't make [Bb] it alone.
[F]
I am a simple man.
I'm a simple man.
Thanks Graham. Great tune.
