[Ab] [F] [G] [C]
[Ab] As I walk through the valley [Bb] where I harvest my grain, I [G] take a look at my wife and [Eb] realize she's very [Ab] plain.
But that's just perfect [Bb] for an Amish like me.
You [G] know I shun fancy things like [Eb] electricity.
[Ab] At 4.30. in the morning [F] I'm milking cows. [G] Jebediah feeds the chickens [Cm] and Jacob plows. [Ab] Fool, and I've been milking [F] and plowing so long that [G] even Ezekiel thinks [C] that my mind is gone. [Ab] I'm a man of the land, [F] I'm into discipline. [G] Got a Bible in my hand [C] and a beard on my chin. But [Ab] if I finish all of my [F] chores and you finish thine, [G] then tonight we're gonna party [C] like it's 1699. [Ab] We've been [Bb] spending most our lives [G] living in an [Cm] Amish paradise. [Ab] I churn [Bb] butter once or twice [G] living in an [Cm] Amish paradise. [Ab] It's hard work [Bb] and sacrifice [G] living in an [Cm] Amish paradise. [Ab] We sell quilts [Bb] at discount price [G] living in an [Cm] Amish paradise. [Ab] A local boy kicked me [F] in the butt last week. I [G] just smiled at him [C] and I turned the other [Ab] cheek. I really don't care, in [F] fact I wish him well. Cause [Ab] I'll be laughing my head off when he's burning in hell. But I ain't never punched a tourist [F] even if he deserved it. [G] An Amish with a toot, [C] you know that's unheard of. [Ab] I never wear buttons [F] but I got a cool hat [G] and my homies agree I [C] really look good in black, [Ab] fool. If you come to visit [F] you'll be bored to tears. We [G] haven't even paid the phone [C] bill in 300 years. [Ab] But we ain't really quaint [F] so please don't point and stare. [G] We're just technologically [C] impaired. There's [Ab] no phone, no lights, [F] no motor car, [G] not a single [C] luxury. [Ab] Like Robinson [F] Crusoe, it's [G] as primitive as [C] can be. [Ab] We've been spending [F] most our lives [G] living in an [Cm] Amish paradise. [Ab] We're just plain and simple guys [G] living in an [Cm] Amish paradise. [Ab] There's no time [Bb] for sin and vice [G] living in an [Cm] Amish paradise. [Ab] We don't fight, [Bb] we all play nice [G] living in an Amish paradise. [Ab] Hitching up the buggy, [F] churning lots of butter. [G] Raise the barn on Monday, [C] soon I'll raise another. [Ab] Think you're really righteous? [F] Think you're pure in heart? [G] Well I know I'm a million [C] times as humble as thou art. [Ab] I'm the pious guy, the [F] little omelettes wanna be like [G] on my knees day and night [C] scoring points for the afterlife. [Ab] So don't be vain [F] and don't be whiny or [G] else my brother I might have to [C] get medieval on your hiney. [Ab] We've been spending [Bb] most our lives [G] living in an [Cm] Amish paradise. [Ab] We're all crazy [Bb] men and knights [G] living in an [Cm] Amish paradise. [Ab] There's no cops [Bb] or traffic lights [G] living in an [Cm] Amish paradise. [Ab] But you'd probably [Bb] think it bites [G] living in an [Cm] Amish paradise. [Ab] [Fm] [G] [Ab] [Db] [D]
