Intro: E  A   D A E (x2) 

             E 
Been like a rollin' wheel 
           A 
In these fertile fields 
     D       A          E 
Since I was five years old 
        E 
Between then and now 
            A 
I bet I've pulled this plow 
         D       A        E 
About a million miles or so 
             E 
I have never been nowhere 
       A 
Oh but I don't care 
               D         A       E 
To me there is no where else to go 
                E 
And in all and all I am 
          A 
Its just who I am 
           D           A          D 
It's as complicated as new plowed earth 
           E 
Simple as dirt 

          Dbm                         A 
I love my wife and kids just like my daddy did 
         A              E 
And my daddy's dad before 
            Dbm                  A 
And their philosophy was handed down to me 
             D        A          D 
Life is as easy as a hard days work 
           E 
Simple as dirt 

         E                  A 
Well I live my life one day at a time 
            D    A     E 
That's the only way I know 
                 E                     A 
Oh lord I have paid my debts and have no regrets 
       D         A       E 
And I reap the things I sow 
                E                 A 
And I'll keep pulling weeds and planting seeds 
           D       A          E 
Until I reach the end of the road 
             E 
But you can lay me down 
       A 
This familiar ground 
           D           A           D 
And on my stone carve just three words 
           E 
Simple as dirt 


          Dbm                         A 
I love my wife and kids just like my daddy did 
         A              E 
And my daddy's dad before 
            Dbm                  A 
And their philosophy was handed down to me 
             D        A          D 
Life is as easy as a hard days work 
           D 
Simple as dirt 

             E 
Been like a rollin' wheel 
                A 
Through these fertile fields 
      D        A        E 
Since I was five years old
