Chorus
Look for the | [C] ...bare ne- | [C7] cessities, the | [F] simple bare ne- | [F7] cessities,
For- | [C] get about your | [A7] worries, and your | [D7] strife, | [G7↓]
I mean, the | [C] ...bare ne- | [C7] cessities, ol' | [F] Mother Nature's | [F7] recipes,
That | [C] bring the [A7] bare ne- | [D7] cessi- [G7] ties of | [C] life [F7] | [C↓]
Wherever I | [G7] wander, | wherever I | [C] roam, |
| [C] ...I couldn't be | [G7] fonder | ...of my big | [C] home,
| [C7] The bees are | [F] buzzin' in the | [Fm] tree to make some | [C] honey just for | [D7] me,
When | [Am↓] you look under the | [A7↓] rocks and plants,
And | [Dm↓] take a glance at the | [D7] fancy [G7] ants,
then | [C] maybe try a | [A7] few, | [A7] | [A7↓]
The bare ne- | [Dm] cessities of | [G7] life will come to | [C] you [Am] |
| [Dm] ... They'll [G7] come to | [C] you [F7] | [C↓]
Chorus

For - | [C] get about your | [A7] worries, and your | [D7] strife, | [G7↓]
I mean, the | [C] ...bare ne- | [C7] cessities, that's | [F] why a bear can | [F7] rest at ease,
With | [C] just the [A7] bare ne- | [D7] cessi- [G7] ties of | [C] life [F7] | [C↓]
Now, when you pick a | [G7] paw- paw, | or a prickly | [C] pear, |
| [C] And you prick a | [G7] raw paw, | well, next time be- | [C] ware, |
| [C7] Don't pick the | [F] prickly pear by the | [Fm] paw,
When you pick a | [C] pear try to use the | [D7] claw,
But | [Am↓] you don't need to | [A7↓] use the claw,
When | [Dm↓] you pick a pair of the | [D7] big paw- [G7] paw↓
| [C] ...Have I given you a | [A7] clue? | [A7] | [A7↓]
The bare ne- | [Dm] cessities of | [G7] life will come to | [C] you [Am] |
| [Dm]... They'll [G7] come to | [C] you [F7] | [C↓]
Oh, man, this is really living! [C↓]
Chorus
Look for the | [C] ...bare ne- | [C7] cessities, the | [F] simple bare ne- | [F7] cessities,

Carter Picking
4/4 | T3 - D u T4 - D u |
1 2 & 3 4 &
| [D] | [A] | [D] | [D]
They say the | [D] good die young but | it ain't for certain
I bin | [G] good all day | I ain't hurtin'
Not in | [D] any way... | I'm too old to die |
| [A] young... | [A] ...
I shouldn't | [D] talk too loud. | Bad luck is preying on the |
| [G] proud ones. There's | nothin' like laying in a |
| [D] graveyard... to | [A] teach you to hold your |
| [D] tongue... | [D] ...
They say the | [D] Devil was an angel back | in the beginnin' |
| [G] So was I... but | nobody's pinnin' any |
| [D] hopes on me | I ain't sayin' that they |
| [A] ought'a... | [A] ...
I | [D] didn't wanna change but the | road kept slidin' in a |
| [G] funny way. And | I kept ridin' on it |
| [D] anyway. Some- | [A] times you gotta'do what you gott- |
| [D] -a ... | [D] ... |
Chorus
| [D] What they say. | [A] What they do
They'll | [G] swear it is. They'll | [D] think it's true |
| [D] When they think at | all but they ain't |
| [A] willin' ... | [A] ...
If they | [D] cain't think of | what to say, they talk |
| [G] anyway. It's | all cliché. |
| [D] Fast food for the | [A] brain but not too |
| [D] fillin' ... | [D] ... |
Instrumental
| [D] | [A] | [G] | [D] |
| [D] | [A] | [D] | [D] |
They say | [D] time and tide will | wait for no one.
The | [G] time it takes one | tide to go one
| [D] time around the world | ...would leave you
| [A] spinnin' ... | [A] ...
But now the | [D] race is on be- | tween the tide
And the | [G] people livin' | right beside it |
| [D] No one's drownin' | [A] yet but they ain't |
| [D] winnin' ... | [D] ... |
Chorus
If | [D] words were wisdom, | [A] we'd all speak
And | [G] smarten up from | [D] week to week
Just | [D] sayin' "live and | learn".
There's | [A] nothin' to it.... | [A] ... |
| [D] Friends in need are | friends indeed
But the | [G] friends who think of | what we need
They | [D] hardly talk at | [A] all. They just
| [D] do it... | [D] ...
They | [D] hardly talk at | [A↓] all. They just
| [G] do it... | [G] [D↓]
