Chords:
Transpose:
E
I ain't nothin' but a simple man
     D
They call me a redneck I reckon that I am
            A
But there's things going on 
                             E
That make me mad down to the core.

I have to work like a dog to make ends meet
        D
There's crooked politicians and crime in the street
        A                                          E
And I'm madder'n hell and I ain't gonna take it no more.
E
We tell our kids to just say no 
          D
Then some panty waist judge lets a drug dealer go
A                                                            E
Slaps him on the wrist and then he turns him back out on the town. 
E
Now if I had my way with people sellin' dope
           D
I'd take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope
    A                                                    E
I'd hang 'em up high and let 'em swing 'til the sun goes down
          D
Well, you know what's wrong with the world today
A
People done gone and put their Bible's away 
        D                        A                         E
They're living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land
D
The good book says it so I know it's the truth 
A
An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth
           E                      D
You better watch where you go and remember where you been
A                                    E
That's the way I see it I'm a Simple Man.
E
Now I'm the kinda man that'd not harm a mouse
         D
But if I catch somebody breakin in my house
         A                                         E
I've got twelve guage shotgun waiting on the other side
E
So don't go pushing me against my will 
        D
I don't want to have to fight you but I dern sure will
  A                                                            E
So if you don't want trouble then you'd better just pass me on by
E
As far as I'm concerned there ain't no excuse
        D
For the raping and the killing and the child abuse
    A                                        E
And I've got a way to put an end to all that mess
E
Just take them rascals out in the swamp 
D
Put 'em on their knees and tie 'em to a stump
        A                                               E
Let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest
    D
You know what's wrong with the world today
A
People done gone and put their Bible's away 
        D                        A                         E
They're living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land
 D
The Good Book says it so I know it's the truth 
A
An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth
E                                 D
You better watch where you go and remember where you been
A                                    E
That's the way I see it I'm a Simple Man
