Intro: AmCGD/F#AmCGGC9G
I got an old coffee mug that my granddad used to own
GC9D/F#
Im sippin it slow on the porch and its good to be home
Em7D/F#
Watchin the sun come up and a dove on the wing
GC9
Im thinkin while I listen to the mockingbird sing
Em7D/F#GC9
That I sure do love the simple things
Chorus:
AmC
The best things in life you dont plug in
GD/F#A sky full of stars or a hand in the wind
AmCGD/F#A long kiss, a good ol memory
AmC
Keepin you grounded and makin you whole
GD/F#
Remindin you youve got a soul
AmC * C
Long as Ive got a full belly, and a song to sing
FC
Ill be thankin God for the simple things
AmCGD/F#AmCGGC9G
You got an egg in the skillet, I can smell it startin to fry
GC9D/F#
Hair pulled back in a ponytail out of your eyes
Em7D/F#
Sayin good morning, I love you, how did you sleep
GC9
Might as well be poetry I feel it so deep
Em7D/F#GC9
And you, you sure do know how to do those simple things
Chorus:
AmC
The best things in life you dont plug in
GD/F#A sky full of stars or a hand in the wind
AmCGD/F#A long kiss, a good ol memory
AmC
Keepin you grounded and makin you whole
GD/F#
Remindin you youve got a soul
AmC * C
Long as Ive got a full belly, and a song to sing
FCG
Ill be thankin God for the simple things
FC

G
Live til I die, honey thats the plan
AmC * C
As long as Ive got a full belly, and a song to sing
FC
Ill be thankin God for the simple things
