(D major) (C major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (C major) (G major)
(A flat major) (B flat major)
(C major) (B flat major)
Verse 1
Wouldn't you (D minor) rather (G major) be a left- (B flat major) handed flea (C major)
A (D minor) crab on a slab (G major) at the bottom of the (C major) sea
Than a (D minor) man who never
learns (G major) how to be free
Not 'til he's cold (C major) and
dead.
(D major) (C major) (D major) (C major) (D major)
Verse 2
(C major) Well I'll sing (D minor) you the story
(C major) (D major) of a sorrowful lad (C major)
Had (D major) everything he (C major) wanted,
(D major) didn't want what he had
(C major) He had wealth (D major) and pelf and
fame and name and all of
That noise (C major)
But he didn't have none of
those simple (C major) joys (D minor)
His life seemed purposeless (G major)
(C major) and flat (Csus4) (C major)
(D minor) Aren't you glad you (G major) don't
feel like that? (D major) (C major) (D major)
(C major) So he ran (D major) from all the deeds (C major) he'd done,
he (D major) ran
Things he'd (C major) just begun
He (D major) ran from him (C major) self,
now that's (D major) mighty far to (C major) run
(D major) Out into the country where
he played as a (C major) boy
He (B flat major) knew he had to find him
some (C major) simple joys (D minor)
He wanted some (G major) place
warm an (C major) d green
(D minor) We all could use (G major) a change (D major) of scene
(C major) (D major) (C major) (D major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
Sweet summer evenings,
hot (E flat major) wine (A flat major) and (C major) bread
Sharing your supper,
(E flat major) sharing your (A flat major) (B flat major) (C major) bed
Simple joys have a simple voice:
It says (B flat major) why not go ahead?
Wouldn't you rather (G major) be
(G minor) a left- (B flat major) handed flea (C major)
A (D minor) crab on a slab (G major) at the bottom (B flat major)
of the sea (C major) (D minor) (G minor) (B flat major) (C major)
Than a (D minor) man who never learns
(G major) how to be free (G minor)
Not 'til he's (C major) (D major) (C major) cold (D major)
(C major) (D major) and dead (C major) (G major) (C major)
Sweet summer evenings,
sapphire skies (A flat major) (C major)
Feasting her belly
(E flat major) Feasting her (A flat major) eyes
(C major) Simple joys have a simple voice:
It says time's (B flat major) a living prize
And wouldn't you
(D minor) Rather (G major) be a left- (B flat major) handed flea (C major)
A (D minor) crab on a slab (G minor) at the bottom (B flat major) of the sea (C major)
A (D minor) newt on the (G minor) root of a ban (B flat major) yan tree
(C major) Or a fig (D minor) on a (G major) twig in Ga (B flat major) lilee
(C major) Than a (D minor) man who never
learns (G major) how to be free (B flat major)
Not till the day (C major) he
(B flat major) Not till (C major) the day he
(B flat major) Not till the day,
Not till the day (C major) he dies! (D major)
