This is from memory, so I hope I haven't butchered this one too badly,
particularly the lyrics....As with everything I post this is transposed
into a key I can sing it in, you'll have to change it to do it in the
same key as the recording.

Simple Song - Lyle Lovett

Amin          C               G
It's a simple song for simple feelings
Amin          C                   E7
You see the moon and you watch it rise
F             C                   G
Across the continent a night bird sings
Amin          E7                Amin
And someone somewhere hears its cry

Amin        C            G
Disillusioned, keep your head down
Amin          C                E7
'Cause if you do they'll never know
F              C                 G
You'll have no answers to their questions
Amin           E7             Amin
And they will have to let you go

Amin   C             G
Disenfranchised revolution
Amin    C                 E7
Take away by right what's yours
F             C               G
They make you martyrs of your own cause
Amin            E7                  Amin
But they don't know what cause its for

Amin   C             G
All deserted stand alerted
Amin             C                 E7
They'll love you when you're all alone
F          C                G
You find a red rose in the morning light
Amin         E7                 Amin
But wait the night and find it gone

Amin       C                    G
So hear my words with faith and passion
Amin       C             E7
For what I say to you is true
F         C                G
When you find the one you might become
Amin      E7           Amin
Remember part of me is you
