How Will I Ever Be Simple Again Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][C][G][D][C][G]

[Verse 1]
Oh, [G]she danced
in the street
With the guns [C]all [G]around her
All torn like a rag doll
Barefoot in [D]the rain
And [G]she sang like [C]a child
Toora- day [G]toora- daddy

[Verse 2]
Oh, how will I ever be simple again
[G]
She sat by the banks
Of the [C]dirty grey [G]river
And tried for a fish
With a worm on a [D]pin
There was [G]nothing but fever
And [C]ghosts in the [G]water
Oh, how will I ever be [D]simple again
[G]

[Verse 3]
[C]War was my love
And my [G]friend and companion
And [C]what did I care for the [G]pretty and [D]plain
But [G]her smile was so clear
And my [C]heart was so [G]troubled
Oh, how will I [D]ever be simple again

[Interlude 1]
[G][C]
[G][D][G][C][G]
[C][G][D][G]

[Verse 4]
In [G]her cold burned out house
We [C]sat at her [G]table
The smell of her hair
Was like cornfields in [D]May
And I [G]wanted to weep
And [C]my eyes ached [G]from trying
Oh, how will I ever be [D]simple again
[G]

[Verse 5]
So [C]graceful she moved through
the [G]dust and the ruin
And [C]happy she was in her
[G]dances and [D]games
Oh, [G]teach me to see
With your [C]innocent eye[G]s, love
Oh, how will I ever be [D]simple [G]again
Oh, how will I ever be [D]simple again
