Simple tools Chords

Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
My [G]wife used to say
she couldn't understand
Why I make my living working
[C]with my [D]hands
She met a junk bond daddy and
he broke up my [Am]home[D]
He made his living [C]on [G]the
telephone
[C][G]

[Verse 2]
Daddy spied my darling and
he dialed her number then
They took off next morning and
[Bm]she [C]won't he back [Am]again[G]
I [C]might not be good looking and
[G]I never been to school
[D]But I patched up my broken
home using [C]simple [G]tools

[Verse 3]
[G]Simple tools, simple tools,
[C]I l[G]ike simple tools
I'm just a common ordinary work[C]aday [D]fool
I might not [Am]be t[D]he brightest
bulb or the straightest route
But I can mend my broken
heart using [G]simple tools
And I can talk to girls in bars,
well maybe a few
We'd drink a little glass
of wine [C]or may[D]be two
I might wake up in gay Paree or
good old San Berdoo
The gals appreciate a man that
[G]uses simple tools

[Verse 4]
[G]
I won't be walking 'round all night,
wonderin' what to do
I won't be calling up the morgue
[C]askin' for [Am]you[G]
[C]Or beating down these memories
[G]with one of your old shoes
[D]I can do the job in half t[C]he time[D][G][C][G][D][G][C][G]
[C][D][C][G][D][Am][D][C]
[D]us [G]ing[D] si[G]mple to[D]ols[G]

[Verse 5]
I'm just a [G]common ordinary work[C]aday [D]fool
I might not be the brightest bulb
or the straightest rule,
But I can do the job in half the time
Using [C]simple [G]tools, sim[C]ple tools

[Outro 1]
[G]
