Charlie Daniels Band - Simple Man guitar tab

[E] I ain't nothing 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 to make ends meet. There's [D] crooked politicians and crime

in the

street and I'm [A] madder than hell and I ain't gonna take it no [E] more.

We tell our

kids to just say no and then some [D] panty waist judge lets a drug dealer go

and he [A] slaps him on the wrist and he turns him back out on the town. Well,

if I [E] had my way with people sellin' dope, I take a [D] big tall tree and a

short piece of

rope, and [A] hang 'em up high and let 'em swing thll the sun goes [E] down.

chorus.

Well you [A] know whats wrong with the world today. [E] People done gone and

put their Bibles away, There [D] livin' by law of the [A] jungle not the low

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'd better watch where you go and [D] remember

where you've been, [A7] that's the way I see it I'm a simple [E] man.

Now, I'm the kind of man that wouldn't harm a mouse, but if I catch somebody

breakin' in my house, I've got a twelve gauge shotgun waitin' on the other

side. So don't go pushin' me against my will, I don't want to have to fight

you but I durn sure will. So if you don't want trouble that you'd better just

pass me on by. As far as I'm concerned there aint no excuse for the raping

and the killing and the child abuse. And I've got a way to put and end to

all that mess. You just take those rascals out in the swamp, put them on

their knees and tie 'em to a stump and let the rattlers and the bugs and the

alligators do the rest.chorus.
