Simple As This

Alternative, maybe easier, version:
  • Transpose the chords 1 half step down [ -1 ]
  • Put a capo on fret 1 to stay in the same key

To make it easier transpose 1 half step down and/or only play the root chords instead of add9 and sus2.

Ab            Dbadd9     Ab
I've been in search of stones

Making up the pavement
        Dbadd9    Ab
Of less travelled roads
   Ab      Fm
Mining for treasure deep in my bones
Fm           Eb    Ebsus2 Eb Ebsus2    
That I never found


Ab               Dbadd9 Ab
Went looking for reverence
Ab
Tried to find it in a bottle
       Dbadd9 Ab
& came back  again
Ab    Ab   Fm
High on a hashpipe of good intent
Fm                     Eb   Ebsus2 Eb Ebsus2
But it only brought me down


Dbadd9 Eb                   Ab    Ab   Fm
Tried institutions of the mind and  soul
Dbadd9   Eb
It only taught me what I
Ab      Ab   Fm
Should not  know
Dbadd9      Eb
Oh and the answer well

Something as simple as this
 

Ab                 Dbadd9   Ab
Travelled to each ocean’s end
Ab
Saw all 7 wonders,
          Dbadd9     Ab
Trying to make some sense
     Ab      Fm
Memorised the mantra Confucius said
Fm           Eb    Ebsus2 Eb Ebsus2    
But it only let me down


Dbadd9 Eb                  Ab    Ab   Fm
Tried absolutions of the mind and  soul
Dbadd9   Eb
It only led me where I
Ab     Ab   Fm
Could not  go
Dbadd9      Eb
Oh and the answer well
Ab       Ab   Fm    
How could I miss

I     been falling crashing breaking
Dbadd9 Eb       Ab
And   all the while you were

Stood here waiting
       Fm
For me girl

Tried liberation of my own free will

But it left me looking to get higher still
Dbadd9      Eb
Oh and the answer well

Who could have guessed
