Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
The hood's up, the oil is leakin'
The bolt's broken off and my knuckles are bleedin'
But the sun is shinin' and the birds are singin'
And so am I
Now my sweet Daisy, pretty as a rose
In the back yard hangin' out clothes
'Cause that old Maytag's broke
And so am I
Chorus
But she loves the life we're livin'
Barefoot dancin' in the kitchen
[G/f#]
While I'm pickin', one string missin'
And she don't seem to mind
Lord knows, she deserves better
Ain't got two nickels to rub together
[G/f#]
But, sweet Daisy, long as you're happy, baby
So am I
Summer time, nights are gettin' hotter
Sundown down by the water
I bait her hook an' slip on a bobber
So she can wet a line
They ain't bitin', too hot I reckon
I look over at her and she's winkin'
If she's thinkin' what I think she's thinkin'
So am I
Chorus
We love the life we're livin'
It feels so good skinny-dippin'
[G/f#]
Skin drippin' and long legs kickin'
In the Mississippi moonlight
Lord knows, she deserves better
Ain't got two nickels to rub together
[G/f#]
But, sweet Daisy, long as you're happy, baby
So am I

Chorus
But she loves the life we're livin'
Barefoot dancin' in the kitchen
[G/f#]
While I'm pickin', two strings missin'
And she don't seem to mind
Lord knows, she can do better
Ain't got two nickels to rub together
[G/f#]
But, sweet Daisy, long as you're happy, baby
So am I
[G/f#]
Sweet Daisy, long as you're happy, honey
So am I
-[G/f#]-----
Yeah, so am I...
