Verse 1
E 
I  (E major) ain't
nothin' but a simple man
D 
 (D major) Call me a redneck,
I reckon that I am
A 
But there's  (A major) things goin' on
E 
that make me mad down to the  (E major) core
I have to work like a dog, make ends meet
Em 
D 
 (E minor) And there's  (D major) crooked politicians
cryin' in the street
A 
And I'm  (A major) madder than hell
E 
and I ain't gonna take it no  (E major) more
I like kids just say no
Em 
D 
 (E minor) And some  (D major) panty -waist judge
lets a drug dealer go
A 
Slaps  (A major) him on the wrist
Em 
and turns him back out on the  (E minor) tab
E 
If I  (E major) had my way with people sellin' dope
D 
I'd take a  (D major) big tall tree
and a short piece of rope
A 
I'd  (A major) hang them up high
and let them swing
E 
D 
till the sun goes  (E major) down  (D major) 
Well you know what's wrong
with the world today
E 
People  (E major) don't know
but the Bible's a way of living
D 
A 
 (D major) By the law of the  (A major) jungle
E 
not the law of the  (E major) land
D 
Well, the  (D major) good book says it,
so I know it's the truth
E 
An  (E major) eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
Em 
You better  (E minor) watch where you go
D 
and remem (D major) ber where you've been
A 
 (A major) That's the way I see it,
Em 
E 
Em 
I'm a simple man  (E minor)  (E major)  (E minor) 
E 
 (E major) I'm the kind of man
Em 
who wouldn't  (E minor) harm a mouse
D 
But if I  (D major) catch somebody
breakin' in my house
A 
I got a  (A major) 12 -gauge shotgun
Em 
waitin' on the other side  (E minor) 
E 
Em 
Don't  (E major) go pushin' me against your  (E minor) will
D 
I don't  (D major) wanna have to fight you
for the damn show, well
A 
If you  (A major) don't want trouble,
E 
then you better just pass me on  (E major) by
Em 
As far as I'm con (E minor) cerned,
I ain't no excuse
D 
For the  (D major) rapin', the killin'
and the child abuse
A 
Em 
I  (A major) got a way to put an end to all that  (E minor) mess
E 
You just  (E major) take them rascals out and stomp
D 
Put  (D major) them on their knees
and tied them to a stump
A 
Let the  (A major) rat rats and the bugs
E 
and the alligators do the  (E major) rest
Em 
D 
 (E minor) Well, you  (D major) know what's wrong
with the world today
E 
People  (E major) done gone put their
bibles away
D 
And riddled  (D major) everybody along the jungle,
A 
E 
 (A major) not the laws of man  (E major) 
Em 
D 
 (E minor) Well, the  (D major) good book said it,
A 
so I know it's the  (A major) truth
E 
An  (E major) eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
You better watch where you go
D 
and remem (D major) ber where you've been
A 
That's  (A major) the way I see it,
E 
I'm a simple man  (E major) 
Em 
Watch where you're  (E minor) going,
D 
re (D major) member where you've been
A 
That's  (A major) the way I see it,
E 
Em 
E 
I'm a simple man  (E major)  (E minor)  (E major) 
Em 
E
