[Verse]
 D
Turn off the T.V.
 D
Turn off the crap
 D
Kick off your high heels
 D              D
Climb up in my lap


[Chorus]
               Bm
And I'll play music
   Bm       A     D
A song from me to you
        A         Bm
Simple six string music
  Bm     A      D
A ballad or the blues


[Verse]
D
No interruptions
D
From the telephone
D
Don't need call waitin'
D               D
Just you and me alone


[Chorus]
                  Bm
And my six string music (six string music)
  Bm        A     D
A song from me to you
        A         Bm
Simple six string music (six string music)
  Bm     A      D
A ballad or the blues


[Bridge]
        G                    D
Oh I remember that night in Africa
    G                         D
My daughter and my little guitar
 G               D
Straddling the equator
     G            A
The king of Zanzibar
       G                D
Those shy black hidden faces
             G                   D
They didn't know me from Adam's cat
         Bm
But the words and the singin'
         Em
And the people in a ring
         G           Em        A
And the whole night went like that


[Instrumental]
D Bm A D


[Verse]
D
Now some folks like icing
D
Some folks like cake
D
Some swim in the ocean
D
Some paddle in a lake

D
Well you can get into Beethoven
D
Or you can groove on Jimmy Reed
D
But keep it simple stupid
D
All we really need is


[Chorus]
D          Bm
Six string music (six string music)
  Bm        A     D
A song from me to you
       D          Bm
Simple six string music (six string music)
  Bm     A      D
A ballad or the blues


[Outro]
D          Bm
Six string music (six string music)
Bm    A  D
Ain't no symphony
          D          Bm
It's just six string music (six string music)
   Bm  A  D
So elementary
