Give Me The Simple Life Cifras

Tony Bennett's version from the original 1954 recording.  The first verse is a monologue.
In the original the guitar plays a number of fills, however, the same chords used
throughout the song can be substituted to a close approximation by simply playing the chords
slowly and holding them until the next chord.
 
The C#m7-5 is an uncommon chord, but is easily fingered as follows.
 
C#m7-5    x-4-2-0-0-0
 
Also note that these Em7 shapes(0-2-0-0-0-0) & (0-2-2-0-3-0) are used throughout the song.  Ultimate
Guitar does not seem to easily allow me to distinguish between the two shapes and where they are used,
but use the second fingering shown above to begin each verse, and use the first shape to begin each chorus,
and at the ending of each verse.  Use the G(x-5-5-4-3-x) and Gm(x-5-5-3-3-x) shapes.  Finally,
to end it, just play single strums on the C9(x-3-2-3-3-x), C#9(x-4-3-4-4-x)and D9(x-5-4-5-5-x) and hold
the last chord to end it.
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Em7       A7           D                  B7
Folks are blessed, who make the best, of everyday
C#m7-5 F#7      Bm       D7
Living by their own philosophy
G    Gm     D        Bm7
Everyone beneath the sun must find a way
E7                   Em7          A7
And I have found the only way for me
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Em7     A7         D            B7
I don't believe in frettin' and grievin'
C#m7-5   F#7         Bm     D7
Why mess around with strife?
G           Gm         D        Bm7
I never was cut out to step and strut out
E7      Em7        A7
Give me the simple life
 
[Verse 3]
 
Em7          A7       D         B7
Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant
C#m7-5            F#7    Bm     D7
Those things roll off my knife
     G          Gm          D      Bm7
Just serve me tomatoes; and mashed potatoes
E7          A7     D
Give me the simple life
 
[Chorus]
 
Em7            A7               D
Now, a cottage small is all I'm after
Em7            A7           D
Not one that's spacious and wide
C#m7-5       F#7                Bm
A house that rings with joy and laughter
        E7            Em7  A7
And the ones that you love inside
 
[Verse 4]
 
Em7           A7         D          B7
Some like the high road, I like the low road
C#m7-5        F#7        Bm    D7
Free from the care and strife
       G          Gm        D      Bm7
Sounds corny and seedy, but yes, indeed-y
E7           A7    D
Give me the simple life

[Chorus]
 
Em7         A7          D
I greet the dawn when I awaken
Em7        A7       D
The sky is clear up above
C#m7-5       F#7             Bm
I like my scrambled eggs and bacon
       E7     Em7        A7
Served by someone that I love
 
[Verse 5]
 
Em7           A7         D              B7
Life could be thrilling, with one who's willing
C#m7-5  F#7      Bm    D7
To be a farmer's wife
     G           Gm          D          Bm7
Kids callin' me pappy, would make me so happy
E7           A7     D
Give me the simple life

Give me the simple life

Give me the simple life
