Charlie Daniels Band – Simple Man tab
Chords:
E I ain't nothin' but a simple man D They call me a redneck I reckon that I am A But there's things going on E That make me mad down to the core. I have to work like a dog to make ends meet D There's crooked politicians and crime in the street A E And I'm madder'n hell and I ain't gonna take it no more. E We tell our kids to just say no D Then some panty waist judge lets a drug dealer go A E Slaps him on the wrist and then he turns him back out on the town. E Now if I had my way with people sellin' dope D I'd take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope A E I'd hang 'em up high and let 'em swing 'til the sun goes down D Well, you know what's wrong with the world today A People done gone and put their Bible's away D A E They're living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land D The good book says it so I know it's the truth A An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth E D You better watch where you go and remember where you been A E That's the way I see it I'm a Simple Man. E Now I'm the kinda man that'd not harm a mouse D But if I catch somebody breakin in my house A E I've got twelve guage shotgun waiting on the other side E So don't go pushing me against my will D I don't want to have to fight you but I dern sure will A E So if you don't want trouble then you'd better just pass me on by E As far as I'm concerned there ain't no excuse D For the raping and the killing and the child abuse A E And I've got a way to put an end to all that mess E Just take them rascals out in the swamp D Put 'em on their knees and tie 'em to a stump A E Let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest D You know what's wrong with the world today A People done gone and put their Bible's away D A E They're living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land D The Good Book says it so I know it's the truth A An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth E D You better watch where you go and remember where you been A E That's the way I see it I'm a Simple Man
