Bare Necessities
Terry Gilkyson
(Straight in)
|Chorus:
|Look for the... [G] bare necessities
|The [C]simple bare ne[C7]cessities
|For[G]get about your [E7] worries and your [A7] strife [D7]
|I mean the... [G] bare ne[G7]cessities
|Old [C] Mother Nature's [C7] recipes
|That [G] brings the [E7] bare ne[A7]cess[D7]ities of [G]life
Verse 1:
Wherever I [D7] wander... wherever I [G] roam
I couldn't be [D7] fonder... of my big [G] home [G7]
The bees are [C] buzzin' in the [Cm] tree
To make some [G] honey just for [A7] me
When [A7] you look under the rocks and plants
And [D7*] take a glance... at the fancy ants, then [G] maybe
Try a [E7] few
The bare ne[A7]cessities of [D7] life will come to [G] you
They’ll [D7] come to you [G] [G*]
Chorus:
Verse 2:
Now when you pick a [D7] paw-paw, Or a prickly [G] pear
And you prick a [D7] raw paw, Next time [G] beware [G7]
Don't pick the [C] prickly pear by the [C7] paw
When you pick a [G] pear, Try to use the [G7] claw
But [A7] you don't need to use the claw
When [D] you pick a pear of the [D7] big paw-paw [G]
Have I given you a [E7] clue ?
The bare ne[A7]cessities of [D7] life will come to [G] you
They’ll [D7] come to you [G*]
|Chorus:
|Look for the... [G] bare necessities
|The [C] simple bare ne[C7]cessities
|For[G]get about your [E7] worries and your [A7] strife [D7]
|I mean the... [G] bare ne[G7]cessities
|Old [C] Mother Nature's [C7] recipes
|That [G] brings the [E7] bare ne[A7]cess[D7]ities of [G] life
Outro:
The bare ne[A7]cessities of [D7] life will come to [G] you
They’ll [D7] come to you [G]
They’ll [D7] come to you [G]
They’ll [D7] come to you [G]
