Father Of The Bride Theme

	  		This song comes from the movie "Father of the Bride". 
I have no idea who wrote it or who performs it for the  
movie. I don't Know the title But I'm guessing that it is  
called:         
                 "The Simple Life" 

         Em7                 A13              Dmaj7 Adim 
Intro:slowly  
	Folks are blessed who make the most of everyday 
        Em7             A13        Dmaj7  C#7/#5/b9 
	living by their own philosophy  
        F#m7        B13              Emaj7    Bdim 
	everyone beneath the sun must find a way 
         Bm7              Bm6          A7  A7/#5 
	and I've found the only way for me 

Verse 1: Em7    A7         F#m7        B7 
	I don't believe in frettin' and grievin' 
        Em7        C#m7/11  C7/b5  Bm7  D13 
	why mess around    with   strife 
	Gmaj7       Gm7      F#m7       Bm7   
	I never was cut out to step and strut out 
        Em7        E9      A7 
	give me the simple life 

Verse 2: Em7         A7       F#m7      B7 
	Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant 
            Em7               C#m7/11  C7/b5  Bm7 D13 
	but those things roll off      my    knife 
        Gmaj7      Gm7      F#m7        Bm7 
	just feed me tomata's and mashed potata's     
        Em7         A7     Dmaj7 
	give me the simple life 

Chorus: Em7      A13              Dmaj7  Adim 
	A cottage small is all I'm after  
        Em7         A13          Dmaj7  C#7/#5/b9 
	not one too spacious and wide 
        F#m7        B13                Emaj7   Bdim 
	a house that rings with joy and laughter 
              Bm7      Bm6     A7 
	of the ones you love inside 

Verse 3: Em7          A7       F#m7          B7 
	Life could be thrilling for one who's willing  
        Em7    C#m7/11 C7/b5  Bm7  D13 
	to be a far -- mer's wife 
        Gmaj7          Gm7         F#m7         Bm7 
	kids calling me pappy could sure make me happy 
        Em7         E9     A7 
	give me the simple life 


Verse 4:Em7          A7          F#m7          B7 
	Some take the high road, I'll take the low road 
        Em7          C#m7/11  C7/b9  Bm7   D13 
	free from the care    and   strife 
            Gmaj7        Gm7   F#m7     Bm7 
	sounds corny and seedy but yes indeedy 
        Em7         A7     Dmaj7 
	give me the simple life 

        Em7         A7     Dmaj7    D6/9 
Ending: Give me the simple life
