Song: Simple Song
By:   Lyle Lovett

{ capo fret 5 } 
 
[intro:]     | Am C | G  | Am E | Am  | 
  
[verse: 1]
Am               C                 G      G
  It's a simple song for simple feeling
Am             C                 E    E7
  You see the moon and watch it rise
F              C            G                G
  Across the continent the night bird sings
Am                E               Am   C  | G  | Am E | Am  |
  And somewhere someone hears its cry
 
 
[verse: 2]
Am        C                  G         G
  So disillusioned keep your head down
Am           C                 E    E7
  and if you do they'll never know
F                  C                G         G
  You'll have no answers to their questions
Am              E                Am    Am
  And they will have to let you  go
 
 
[verse: 3]
Am         C              G      G
  And disenfranchised revolution
Am              C                    E    E7
  They'll take away by right what's yours
F                C              G        G
  And make you martyrs of your own cause
Am                E                    Am    Am
  When they don't know what cause it's for
 
 
[verse: 4]
Am             C              G     G
  And all deserted stand  alerted
Am                  C               E    E7
  They'll love you when you're all alone
F                 C                G           G
  But you find a red rose in the morning light
Am              E                 Am   C  | G | Am E | Am  |
  You wait the night and find it gone
 
 
[coda:]
Am            C                      G     G
  So hear my words with faith and passion
Am            C             E    E7
  For what I say to you is true
F               C                G           G
  And when you find the one you might become
Am          E             Am  C        G      G
  Remember art of me is you  Hum-hum Humm-huhum
Am         E             Am    Am  
  Remember part of me is you
