Standard (EADGBE)

 Turn off the T.V.

 Turn off the crap

 Kick off your high heels

 Climb up in my lap

Chorus

 And I'll play music

 A song from me to you

 Simple six string music

 A ballad or the blues

No interruptions

>From the telephone

Don't need call waitin'

Just you and me alone

Chorus

And my six string music (six string music)

A song from me to you

Simple six string music (six string music)

A ballad or the blues

 Oh I remember that night in Africa

 My daughter and my little guitar

 Straddling the equator

 The king of Zanzibar

 Those shy black hidden faces

 They didn't know me from Adam's cat

 But the words and the singin'

And the people in a ring

 And the whole night went like that

(instrumental: D chords)

Now some folks like icing

Some folks like cake

Some swim in the ocean

Some paddle in a lake

Well you can get into Beethoven

Or you can groove on Jimmy Reed

But keep it simple stupid

All we really need is

Chorus

Six string music (six string music)

A song from me to you

Simple six string music (six string music)

A ballad or the blues

Six string music (six string music)

Ain't no symphony

It's just six string music (six string music)

So elementary
