Intro: Am C G D/F# Am C G

         G                       Cadd9           G
I got an old coffee mug that my granddad used to own
    G                    Cadd9                    D/F#
Im sippin it slow on the porch and its good to be home
            Em7               D/F#
Watchin the sun come up and a dove on the wing
     G                           Cadd9
Im thinkin while I listen to the mockingbird sing
   Em7 D/F#     G       Cadd9
That I sure do love the simple things

Chorus:
     Am                      C
The best things in life you dont plug in
   G                     D/F#
A sky full of stars or a hand in the wind
   Am           C          G   D/F#
A long kiss, a good ol memory
  Am                     C
Keepin you grounded and makin you whole
   G                      D/F#
Remindin you youve got a soul
 Am                     C*                   C
Long as Ive got a full belly, and a song to sing
                F C
Ill be thankin God for the simple things

Am C G D/F# Am C G

           G                          Cadd9               G
You got an egg in the skillet, I can smell it startin to fry
 G                    Cadd9                D/F#
Hair pulled back in a ponytail out of your eyes
          Em7                   D/F#
Sayin good morning, I love you, how did you sleep
 G                        Cadd9
Might as well be poetry I feel it so deep
     Em7      D/F#     G                  Cadd9
And you, you sure do know how to do those simple things

Chorus:
     Am                      C
The best things in life you dont plug in
   G                     D/F#
A sky full of stars or a hand in the wind
   Am           C          G   D/F#
A long kiss, a good ol memory
  Am                     C
Keepin you grounded and makin you whole
   G                      D/F#
Remindin you youve got a soul
 Am                     C*                   C
Long as Ive got a full belly, and a song to sing
                F C                    G
Ill be thankin God for the simple things
            
            F                C
Yeah, you know me baby Im a simple man
 G
Live til I die, honey thats the plan
    Am                C*                C
As long as Ive got a full belly, and a song to sing
                F C
Ill be thankin God for the simple things
