Lyrics

(F6)Sim ple these af (Gb)fairs that (Gb)touch the heart.

(F6)Sim ple are the (Gb)ways of (F7sus4)love.

(Bbmaj7)Sim ple as the touch of an oth er’s (Dm)hand,

(Gm7)sim ple e nough for (C7sus4)an y one to un der stand,

(C7)but (Gb)you.

(F6)Sim ple are the (Gb)ways we (Gb)come a part,

(F6)sim ple as a (Gb)babe is (F7sus4)new!

(Bbmaj7)Sim ple as a tree, and as (C7)sim ple as a cloud, it’s as (Am7)sim ple as the sim plest things have (D7sus4)al ways been,

(Bb)sim ple as the sun and the (C7sus4)moon and the stars in the (A7sus4)sky.

(Gm7)Sim ple are the ways we (C7sus4)say,

“Good

(F6)bye.”
