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...
