C                  A7              D7   G             C
Well it's a great life if you don't weaken but who wants to be strong

[Instrumental]
            C                  A7              D7   G             C


[Verse 1]
     C                                          F                     C
Well I don't guess I'll ever make a million I just want enough to get by
        C                                            D7
Like a checking account in two or three banks and a yellow Cadillac
     G7
to drive
           C                                          F                  C
To go sportin' around with two or three red-heads or maybe take a blonde along
                          A7              D7   G         C
It's a great life if you don't weaken but who wants to be strong

[Verse 2]
                                              F                C
Just give me my money and cold hard cash and get my guitar in tune
                                                         D7             G7
And get me a date with a pretty little thing and I'll be barkin' at the moon
C                                    F                       C
No want more than anybody else just takes more for me to get along
                         A7               D7   G          C
It's a great life if you don't weaken but who wants to be strong

[Solo]
F           C          D7         G
C                      F          C
C           A7         D7  G      C

[Chorus]
         F                                              C
It's the simple things in life that really matter and I'm a pretty simple guy
       F                                    C                    G7
Just give me a house a swimming pool and a little sport plane to fly
    C                                  F                         C
It don't take much to satisfy me I'm a country boy tryin' to get along
                          A7               D7  G          C
It's a great life if you don't weaken but who wants to be strong
