Simple Things Chords & Lyrics - Glen Campbell

Intro [G#] [D#] [Bb] [D#] [Bb]

[VERSE 1]

[D#]Telephones ringing jet planes a leaving
[G#]Another deadline to beat
[Fm]Driven by desire to get [Gm]all I ever needed
But [C#]still my life seemed incomplete [G#]

[VERSE 2]

The [D#]crazy schedule the constant shuffle
[G#]A Workin' late every night
[Fm]The race that I was runnin' left me [Gm]tired and empty
There [G#]wasn't any rest in sight

[PRE-CHORUS 1]

The [Bb]pleasures of wealth
Mixed with [B]dreams of greater glory
Once [Cm]all my eyes could ever see.[B] ...
I [Bb]used to hear me [Gm]say the [G#]busier the better
But in these later days I've [C#]got another [D#]song to [Bb]sing

[CHORUS 1]

Thank you Lord for the [D#]simple things in [Bb]life
Like summer [D#]breeze on a [F]starlit [Gm]night
[G#]Oh I thought I knew the joy that I would never find
[Bb]Thank you Lord for the [D#]simple things in [Bb]life
Like a happy home with a [F]wonderful [Gm]wife
[G#]Oh I never knew the joy that I could [D#]find
In the simple things..[Cm] ... [D#] [F] [D#]

[VERSE 3]

Friendly chatter the sounds of laughter
At a [G#]backyard barbecue
[Fm]Children saying the [Gm]darndest things
Like "[G#]daddy I love you"

[PRE-CHORUS 2]

The [Bb]pleasures of wealth
Mixed with [B]dreams of greater glory
Once [Cm]all my eyes could ever see.[B] ....
I [D#]used to hear me [Cm]say the busier the [G#]better
But in these later days I've [C#]got another [G#]song to [Bb]sing

[CHORUS 2]

Thank you Lord for the [D#]simple things in [Bb]life
Like summer [D#]breeze on a [F]starlit [Gm]night
[G#]Oh I thought I knew the joy that I would never find
[Bb]Thank you Lord for the [D#]simple things in [Bb]life
Like a happy [D#]home with a [F]wonderful [Gm]wife
[G#]Oh I never knew the [D#]joy that I could find
In the [Bb]simple things Oh the simple things [F] [G#] [F] [Bb] [B]

[OUTRO]

[B]Thank you Lord for the [E]simple things in [B]life
Like summer breeze on a [G#m]starlit night
[A]Oh I thought I knew the [B]joy that I would [E]never find
[B]Thank you Lord for the [E]simple things in [B]life
Like a happy [E]home with a wonderful [G#m]wife
[A]Oh I never knew the joy that I [E]could find
In the [B]simple things
[E]Oh the simple things [B] [E]
