Chords for Mary Chapin Carpenter - Songs From Home Episode 7: Don’t Need Much To Be Happy

_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] Hey everyone, welcome back to Songs from Home. _
I'm here with my friend [Bb] Angus _ and we're delighted
to sing another song for you today.
Thank you again for your beautiful posts and comments. _ _
_ The other day when I was reading through so many of them, I was just so _
[Eb] amazed by people saying
good morning from _ [G] Arizona, hello from Wisconsin, _ _ hello from Australia, hello from England, hello
from Germany.
It was _ _ amazing and [Bb] _
I realized how _ [F] grateful I am for this amazing community [G] of souls. _ _ _ _
Keep [Eb] those posts and comments coming.
I love hearing from all of you.
_ [Bb] I know Angus does too.
_ White kitties _ _ taking a nap.
_ _ _ _ [F] _
This one has been out on a long walk, a couple of long walks today.
I don't know what his energy
level is but maybe he'll find a toy and amuse himself while we're singing.
Okay, bye.
_ [G] _ _ _
But _ _ I want to sing a [Bb] tune that [Eb] _ _ _ was _ definitely [G] requested any number of times and _ _
I was really happy to see that and _ _ the title _ is called Don't Need Much to be Happy.
_ [Fm] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [Eb] _ Thank you.
[Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] Don't _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
[Eb] need much to be [Bb] happy _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ _ Four walls and a roof [Bb] overhead _ _ _
[Cm] In _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ my [Bb] belly, _ _
[Cm] cool sheets [Ab] upon the bed _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb]
Fire that warms up [Bb] December _ _
_ [Cm] [Bb] The _ _ [Ab] _ [Eb] sound of a fall in [Bb] the _ east
_ [Cm] _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ Sometimes it's hard to [Bb] remember _ _ [Cm] how tough we [Ab] are to _ [Eb] _
_ please
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ [Bb] All [Ab] _ _ in good time, _ [Cm] _ _ somehow I [F] find
[Gm] _ _ Days that [Eb] still shine with [Ab] the light
[Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] All in good _ stead, [Cm] I'm safe and I'm fed
_ _ [Gm] With jeans in my [Eb] head _ [Ab] and I
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] Feel [Eb] of my hand [Bb] being taken _
_ [Cm] _ _ [Eb] _ [Ab] Driving _ [Eb] at night _ [Bb] all alone _
_ [Cm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ Dreams on a wall of summer [Bb] evening _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] coming _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] home _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ [Bb] All [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ in good time, [Eb] _ _ [Cm] _ somehow you find
_ [Gm] _ _ Days that still shine [Ab] with the [Eb] light _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] All in good stead, [Cm] I'm _ safe and I'm fed
[Gm] With _ [Eb] jeans in my head [Ab] and _ [Bb] I
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Eb] Don't need much to [Bb] be happy _ _
_ [Cm] _ [Eb] A _ _ [Ab] _
[Eb] friend to soften a [Bb] fall _
_ _ [Cm] _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _
Something to show [Bb] for my leaders
_ _ [Cm] _ [Bb] After [Ab] all I [Eb] had learned to be [Bb] grateful _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
I had to learn how to [Bb] see
_ _ _ [Cm] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
Stakes that might have [Bb] proved fatal
_ [Cm] Are [Eb] gifts I [Ab] now _ _ [Eb] receive
_ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] _
Sing _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ it, [Cm] Angus
