Play a Simple Song

Oh my friend won't you tell me what to do?

They don't seem to understand.

I try so hard to make my music tell the truth.

Can't you lend a helpin' hand?

You gotta play a simple song for them.

That's the only thing they want to love and understand.

Won't you play a simple song for them?

Well I think that the songs are doin' fine.

Well I can tell what's on their mind.

You lend a hand now I'm doin' all I can

to help the people understand.

You gotta play a simple song for them.

That's the only thing they want to love and understand.

Won't you play a simple song for them?

Oh my Lord I'll try, I'll try and try again.

You gotta play a simple song for them.

That's the only thing they want to love and understand.

Won't you play a simple song for them?
