Topic: Sophistication

This is Phill Williams using his magic voice and incredible musical talent on this song that we wrote together. I would love to get some feedback on this song.    To all my American friends I wish you all a happy Thanksgiving Day.

Sophistication



[Gm] I don’t think Ill ever be considered...[Bb] sophisticated.

[F] Somehow that seems to me to [D7] be somehow [Gm] overrated

Simplicity can make you happy.

[Bb] Doesn’t mean you don’t know nothing.

[F] In fact, you know [D7] more about something. Than [Gm] I do



[Eb] Oh yeah you think your [F] so sophisticated. [Gm]

[Eb] You only eat the [F] best things.... that are [D7] overrated.



[Gm] There is pain involved in snobbery...[Bb] sophistication.

[F] Yeah your home in your concrete [D7] jungle.

With all your [Gm] fancy things.

Some of the best things in life are free.

[Bb] Oh you can't buy the things in nature.

[F] Things that are brought on [D7] by the sun.

[Gm] The colour of winter and the seasons.



[Eb] Oh yeah you think your [F] so sophisticated. [Gm]

[Eb] You only eat the [F] best things.... that are [D7] overrated.

And they'll kill you given time.



[Gm] You live your life in a fantacy...[Bb] sophistication.

[F] I tell you some of the [D7] best things in life are [Gm] free.

[Gm] Inside a rough exterior....[Bb] can beat a loving heart.

[F] There is a lot going [D7] on that you don’t [Gm] see.



[Eb] Oh yeah you think your [F] so... sophisticated. [Gm]

[Eb] You only eat the [F] best things.... that are [D7] overrated.

[D7] Believe me when I say to you.

[Gm] All the best things in life are free.

[Bb] Milk and honey and the olive trees.

[F] Birds and bees and the [D7] song of nature's all we need.

Re: Sophistication

Great song boys!

So true... my philosophy is that as long as you have your health - you are wealthy as any person alive.  Anything else is just replaceable conveniences at differing levels.
This song depicts that quite well. 
Loved the worm in the apple part of the video - quite entertaining.
Nice lyrics Peatle  and of course Phill is still quite fantastic!

Re: Sophistication

Thank you Jim
The worm and the apple  in the video are now  over 60 years old. Maree got that  given to her as a school girl as part of  a bank promotion  trying to encourage kids to save. I am thankful that Phill took the time to help make this song with his exception voice, music and lyric writing talent.
