(E minor) (E minor) (E minor) (E minor)
(E minor) (E minor) (E minor) (E minor)
Verse 1
(E major) I ain't nothin' but a simple man
They (Dsus2) call me a redneck I reckon that I am
But there's (A major) things going on
That make me mad down to the core. (E major)
I have to work like a dog to make ends meet
There's (Dsus2) crooked politicians
and crime in the street
And I'm (A major) madder'n hell
and I ain't gonna take it no (E major) more

Verse 2
We (E major) tell our kids to just say no
Then some (Dsus2) panty waist judge
lets a drug dealer go
(A major) Slaps him on the wrist
and then he turns him back out on the town. (E major)
Now if I had my way with people sellin' dope
I'd take a (Dsus2) big tall tree
and a short piece of rope
I'd (A major) hang 'em up high
and let 'em swing 'til the sun goes (E major) down
Chorus 1
Well, you (Dsus2) know what's wrong
with the world today
(E major) People done gone and put their Bibles away
They're (Dsus2) living by the law of the jun (A/C#) gle,
not the law of the land (E major)
The (Dsus2) Good Book says it
so I know it's the truth
An (E major) eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
You better watch where you go
and re (Dsus2) member where you been
(A7) That's the way I see it,
I'm a simple (E major) man
Verse 3
Now (E major) I'm the kinda man
that'd not harm a mouse
But if I (Dsus2) catch somebody
breakin in my house
I've got a (A major) twelve gauge shotgun
waiting on the other side (E major)
So don't go pushing me against my will
I don't want (Dsus2) to have to fight you
but I dern sure will
If you (A major) don't want trouble
then you'd better just pass me on (E major) by
Verse 4
As (E major) far as I'm concerned
there ain't no excuse
For the (Dsus2) raping and the killing
and the child abuse
And (A major) I've got a way
to put an end to all that (E major) mess
You just take them rascals
out in the swamp
(Dsus2) Put 'em on their knees
and tie 'em to a stump
Let the (A major) rattlers and the bugs
and the alligators do the rest (E major)
Chorus 2
You (Dsus2) know what's wrong
with the world today
(E major) People done gone and put their Bibles away
They're (Dsus2) living by the law of the jun (A/C#) gle,
not the law of the land (E major)
The (Dsus2) Good Book says it
so I know it's the truth
An (E major) eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
You better watch where you go
and re (Dsus2) member where you been
(A7) That's the way I see it,
I'm a simple (E major) man
Watch where you go
and re (Dsus2) member where you been
(A7) That's the way I see it,
Outro 1
I'm a simple man
