[Verse 1]
I [E]ain't
nothin' but a simple man
[D]Call me a redneck,
I reckon that I am
But there's [A]things goin' on
that make me mad down to the [E]core
I have to work like a dog, make ends meet
[Em]And there's croo[D]ked politicians
cryin' in the street
And I'm [A]madder than hell
and I ain't gonna take it no [E]more
I like kids just say no
[Em]And some p[D]anty -waist judge
lets a drug dealer go
[A]Slaps him on the wrist
and turns him back out on the [Em]tab
If I [E]had my way with people sellin' dope
I'd take a [D]big tall tree
and a short piece of rope
I'd [A]hang them up high
and let them swing
till the sun goes [E]down[D]
Well you know what's wrong
with the world today
[E]People don't know
but the Bible's a way of living
[D]By the law of the [A]jungle
not the law of the [E]land
Well, the [D]good book says it,
so I know it's the truth
An [E]eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
You better [Em]watch where you go
and remem[D]ber where you've been
[A]That's the way I see it,
I'm a simple [Em]man[E][Em]
[E]I'm the kind of man
who wouldn't [Em]harm a mouse
But if I [D]catch somebody
breakin' in my house
I got a [A]12 -gauge shotgun
waitin' on the other [Em]side
Don't [E]go pushin' me against your [Em]will
I don't [D]wanna have to fight you
for the damn show, well
If you [A]don't want trouble,
then you better just pass me on [E]by
As far as I'm con[Em]cerned,
I ain't no excuse
For the [D]rapin', the killin'
and the child abuse
I [A]got a way to put an end to all that [Em]mess
You just [E]take them rascals out and stomp
Put [D]them on their knees
and tied them to a stump
Let the [A]rat rats and the bugs
and the alligators do the [E]rest
[Em]Well, you [D]know what's wrong
with the world today
[E]People done gone put their
bibles away
And riddled [D]everybody along the jungle,
[A]not the laws of [E]man
[Em]Well, the [D]good book said it,
so I know it's the [A]truth
An [E]eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
You better watch where you go
and remem[D]ber where you've been
[A]That's the way I see it,
I'm a simple [E]man
Watch [Em]where you're going,
re[D]member where you've been
[A]That's the way I see it,
I'm a simple [E]man[Em][E]
Thank [Em]you, Charlie[E][Em][E]
[Em][E]
You
