[D]
[Am] [D]
I don't know why [G] you [D] want to start with [C] me
[D]
I [Am] ain't nothing far as I can see
And [A]
one, I'm working too hard
Why don't you [D] give me a break?
[Am] [D]
I [Am] know that [D] lately things ain't been so [C] good
[D]
I'll [Am] make it up just like I told you I would
[A] But I'm tired and I want to sit down
To ease the soul [D] back in
Say you're [G] having trouble figuring me
I don't believe I'm [D] such a mystery
Baby, what you [A] get is what you see
I am a [D] simple man
I want a job [G] and a piece of land
Three squares [D] in my frying pan
Don't seem so hard for [A] me to understand
I am a simple [D] man
You say we got some things to talk [F] about
[D]
A lot of problems that we need to [C] work out
[B] Though [A] we just been fighting
Why don't you give it [D] a rest?
I don't know what else I can say to you
I'm doing everything I know to do
[G] I [A]
can't give you anything more
When I'm giving [D] my best
You say you're having [G] trouble figuring me
I don't believe I'm [D] such a mystery
Baby, what you [A] get is what you see
I am a simple [D]

I want a [Dm] job [G] and a piece of land
Three squares [D] in my frying pan
Don't seem so [G] hard for [A] me to understand
I am a simple [D]
man
I [G]
[Dm]
[D] [A]
[D]
want a [G] place I can lay my head
Soft woman [Dm] and a warm bed
A little time [A] off before I'm dead
I'm just a simple [D] man
You say you're having [G] trouble figuring me
I don't believe I'm [D] such a mystery
Baby, what you [A] get is what you see
I am a simple [D]
man
I want a job [G] and a piece of land
Three squares [D] in my frying pan
Don't seem so hard for [A] me to understand
