simple man

Charlie Daniels



 ED
  I ain't nothing but a simple man,  call me a redneck, I reckon that I
am.

 AE
But there's  things goin' on that make me mad down to the  core.  I
have to

 D
work like a dog to make ends meet.  There's  crooked politicians and crime
in the

 AE
street and I'm  madder than hell and I ain't gonna take it no  more.
We tell our

 D
kids to just say no and then some  panty waist judge lets a drug dealer go
 andA
      he  slaps him on the wrist and he turns him back out on the town.  Well,
if I
 ED
  had my way with people sellin' dope, I take a  big tall tree and a
short piece of
 AE
rope, and  hang 'em up high and let 'em swing thll the sun goes  down.
chorus.
 AE
Well you  know whats wrong with the world today.  People done gone and
 DA
put their Bibles away, There  livin' by law of the  jungle not the low
of the
 EDE
  land.  Well the  good book says it, so I know it's the truth, An  
eye for an
 D
eye and a tooth for a tooth.  You'd better watch where you go and  
remember
 A7E
where you've been,  that's the way I see it I'm a simple  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.
