A Simple Song In Troubled Times Cifras

[Verse 1]
          C                     F
This is a simple little song to sing throughout the land
         F                           C
It’s not trying to be bold, it’s not trying to be grand
     C                            F
It’s not a song that’s clever, or filled with highs and lows
       F                       C
It’s a simple little song, and this is how it goes:
 
[Chorus]
F                     C
La la la la la la la, la la la la la
F                        C
La la la la la la la la, la la la la la
F                     C   G   F
La la la la la la la, la, la, la
F           C      G           C
La la la la la la, la la la la la
 
[Verse 2]
       C                            F
It’s a simple little song: it’s not heavy, it’s not fraught
      F                             C
It distracts me from the coming neo-Nazi juggernaut
            C                           F
Yes, it’s a simple little song, you can sing it if you try
       F                               C
When I do, I don’t remember that we’re gonna freakin’ die
 
[Chorus]
F                     C
La la la la la la la, la la la la la
F                        C
La la la la la la la la, la la la la la
F                     C   G   F
La la la la la la la, la, la, la
F           C      G           C
La la la la la la, la la la la la
 
[Bridge]
     Am                             C
It’s hard to write a simple song in dark and troubled times
  Am                                    C
I want it light and fluffy, but there’s too much on my mind
  Am                         C
I want it to be happy, maybe wistful, at the most
      Dm                                                       G
But I smell the smoke around us, and it’s clear that we’re all toast
 
[Verse 3]
C                                 F
It’s a simple little song, it was meant for everyone
    F                          C
And like our whole republic, I guess it’s almost done
  C                           F
I hope it makes you happy and cuts right through the gloom
      F                             C
As we hold our heads up high and go bravely to our doom
 
[Chorus]
F                     C
La la la la la la la, la la la la la
F                        C
La la la la la la la la, la la la la la
F                     C   G   F
La la la la la la la, la, la, la
F           C      G           C
La la la la la la, la la la la la
 
[Chorus]
F                     C
La la la la la la la, la la la la la
F                        C
La la la la la la la la, la la la la la
F                     C   G   F
La la la la la la la, la, la, la
F           C      G           C
La la la la la la, la la la la la
 
[Outro]
F           C      G           C
La la la la la la, la la la la la
