MAYOR OF SIMPLETON CHORDS

[Intro]
C G C G
   


[Verse]
                  C          G
Never been near a university 
Em                      G        C     
Never took a paper or a learning degree
G                                       Am     A7   
 And some of your friends think that's stupid of me
         C            Am7    D7   
But it's nothing that I care about


[Chorus]
D      C          D               G             Am 
Well I don't know how to tell the weight of the sun
       C           D7 G               
And of mathematics   well I want none
                          E7       
And I may be the mayor of Simpleton
Am                       D7       C D    C  
But I know one thing and that's I  love you
                       D            Em            D   
When their logic grows cold and all thinking gets done
          C       Am7                      G        
You'll be warm in the arms of the mayor of Simpleton


[Verse]
                                    C           G     
I can't have been there when brains were handed 'round
   C                          G     C        G
Or get past the cover of your books profound 
                                    A7            
And some of your friends think it's really unsound
     Am7                         D7
That you're even seen talking to me


[Chorus]
D      C          D              G           
Well I don't know how to write a big hit song
        C         D            G          
And all crossword puzzles well I just shun
                          E7       
And I may be the mayor of Simpleton
      Am7      Am        Bm7      C    D G  
But I know one thing and that's I love  you
D         Bm                       Em                
 I'm not proud of the fact that I never learned much
G                     
Just feel I should say
         B                       Em           
What you get is all real I can't put on an act
         E7           D           C
It takes brains to do that anyway 
Bm7 G Am7   C     D               G                
    And I can't unravel riddles problems and puns
        C    D            G            
How the home computer has me on the run
      G                            
And I may be the mayor of Simpleton
    Am7    Am     D     D7           Em   G C G   C
But I know   one thing and that's I love   you 


[Verse]
G                                   C
 If depth of feeling is a currency 
         G           C                  
Then I'm the man who grew the money tree
G                            Am           
Some of your friends are too brainy to see
     C                              G           
That they're paupers and that's how they'll stay


[Chorus]
D    C            D        G                   
Well I don't know how many pounds make up a ton
           C                 G             
Of all the Nobel prizes that I've never won
                          E7       
And I may be the mayor of Simpleton
Am7        Am     D7                 C    D   G
But I know   one thing and that's I love you

When all logic grows cold and all thinking gets done
          C       Am7             D     G           
You'll be warm in the arms of the mayor of Simpleton
          C                       D        G         C
