Subject: crd: "The Simple Life" from the movie " Father of the Bride"

This song comes from the movie "Father of the Bride".

I have no idea who wrote it or who performs it for the

movie. I don't Know the title But I'm guessing that it is

called:

"The Simple Life"

Intro:slowly

Folks are blessed who make the most of everyday

living by their own philosophy

everyone beneath the sun must find a way

and I've found the only way for me

Verse 1:

I don't believe in frettin' and grievin'

why mess around with strife

I never was cut out to step and strut out

give me the simple life

Verse 2:

Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant

but those things roll off my knife

just feed me tomata's and mashed potata's

give me the simple life

Chorus:

A cottage small is all I'm after

not one too spacious and wide

a house that rings with joy and laughter

of the ones you love inside

Verse 3:

Life could be thrilling for one who's willing

to be a far -- mer's wife

kids calling me pappy could sure make me happy

give me the simple life

Verse 4:

Some take the high road, I'll take the low road

free from the care and strife

sounds corny and seedy but yes indeedy

give me the simple life

Ending: Give me the simple life

chords: intro:

Verse chords:

-11--7---others same as intro

If anyone can tell me who wrote this tune

please e-mail me at dmeta@quadro.net

If you aren't familiar with these chords or

style, I would recommend Mickey Baker's Complete

Course in Jazz Guitar-book 1; if it is still in print.
