Simple Life

G He lived in the mountains away from mankind G Somethin’ from nothin’ I owe him G Cadd9 Even a dime Cadd9 G He left so much behind G And when I discovered my grandfather’s life G My mountains they turned into hills G Cadd9 That I could climb Cadd9 G I found a simple life C G I found what I’ve been missin’ C G Right underneath my chin C G I keep my eyes wide open G Lettin’ daylight in G Cadd9 I decided long ago Am D That I’d be more like him G D For the rain the sun the sleet or snow C D G It’s a simple life I live G Cadd9 If I was poor or rich or young or old Am D It all hangs on a string G D But when my day has come I hope they say C D G It’s the simple life I live C D G It’s the simple life I live G I found an old box in the attic one night G His dog tags from wars that he fought G Cadd9 Packed neatly inside Cadd9 G He kept it all inside G The photos and letters revealed so much truth G The folded up flag made me cry G Cadd9 Cause I never knew Cadd9 G Here’s to a simple life C G I found what I’ve been missin’ C G Right underneath my chin C G I keep my eyes wide open G Lettin’ daylight in G Cadd9 I decided long ago Am D That I’d be more like him G D For the rain the sun the sleet or snow C D G It’s a simple life I live G Cadd9 If I was poor or rich or young or old Am D It all hangs on a string G D But when my day has come I hope they say C D G It’s the simple life I live C D G It’s the simple life I live G Cadd9 Every time I feel the heat G Cadd9 I’ll remember everything G Cadd9 All the words that you taught me D They’ll live on forever G Cadd9 And so I decided long ago Am D As life starts closin’ in G Cadd9 Am I’d raise a glass and toast to all D That it’s a simple life you live G Cadd9 I decided long ago Am D That I’d be more like him G D For the rain the sun the sleet or snow C D G It’s a simple life I live G Cadd9 If I was poor or rich or young or old Am D It all hangs on a string G D But when my day has come I hope they say C D G It’s the simple life I live C * D * G * It’s the simple life I lived C* = D* = G* = He lived… 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & Even a dime… be- 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & hind And when I… 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & That I could climb… 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & life 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & found what… daylight in 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
