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]cessi-[D7]ties of [G] life [G] [Stop]
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 [A7*] rocks and plants
And [D7*] take a glance... at the [D7] 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 [G] you [Stop]
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 [A7*] 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 [G] you [Stop]
|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
|Thats [C] why a bear can [C7] rest at ease
|With [G] just the [E7] bare ne-[A7]cessi-[D7]ties of [G] life [G]
|With [G] just the [E7] bare ne-[A7]cessi-[D7]ties of [G] life
