Simple Man

D D D D

[Verse]

D
I ain't nothin' but a simple man,
C
they call me a redneck the recker 
that I am
G                                 
but these things goin' on make me 
                  D
mad down to the core.
D
Gotta work like a dog to make ends 
meet,
C
with those cookin' polititions and 
crime in the streets,
G                                 
I moderned hell and I ain't gonna 
             D
take it no more.
D
Gotta tell our kids to just say no,
C
and some panny waist judje let a 
drug beater go
G                                 
slaps him on the wrist and turns 
                  D
him back onto the town.
D
I had my way with people selling 
dope
C
but take a big tall tree and a short
 piece of rope
G                              
and hang 'em up high and let 'em 
                           D
swing 'til the sun goes down.

[Chorus]

D

C
people done gone put their bibles 
away
G                                 
they're livin' by law of jungle 
                   D
not the law of the land.
D
The good book says so I know its the
 truth
C
a nine for an eye and a two for a 
tooth
G                             
you've gotta watch where you're 
         D
goin' remember where you've been,
C                                 
that's the way I see it I'm a 
    D
simple man.

[Verse]

D
I'm the kind of man that wouldn't 
hurt a mouse,
C
but if I catch somebody breakin' in 
my house,
G                                 
I've gotta 12 gage shotgun waiting
                D
 on the other side.
D
So don't go pushin me against my 
will,
C
I don't want to have to bite you but
 I darn sure will.
G                              
So if you don't want trouble you 
                         D
better just pass me on by.
D
As far I know there ain't no excuse
C
for the rapin' and the killin' and 
the child abuse
G                                 
and I've gotta way to put an end 
             D
to all that mess.
D
You take them rascals out in the 
swamp,
C
put em' on their knees and tie em' 
to a stump
G                                 
let the raddlers and the bugs and 
                       D
the alligators do the rest.

[Chorus]

D
You know what's wrong with the world
 today,
C
people done gone put their bibles 
away
G                                 
they're livin' by law of jungle 
                   D
not the law of the land.
D
The good book says so I know its the
 truth
C
a nine for an eye and a two for a 
tooth
G                             
you've gotta watch where you're 
         D
goin' remember where you've been,
C                                 
that's the way I see it I'm a 
   D
simple man.
