[Intro]
[Am7] [G] [Am] x8

[Verse 1]
  [Am7]   [G]       [Am]           [Am7] [G] [Am]
I try to run in a different race
    [Am7]  [G]      [Am]               [Am7] [G] [Am]
But every time I seem to lose faith
      [Am7]         [G]        [Am]           [Am7] [G] [Am]
Well, making it is hard, but taking is easy
      [Am7]        [G]        [Am]           [Am7] [G] [Am]
But I got to keep trying to lessen my pace
       [Am7]   [G] [Am]      [Am7]    [G]      [Am]
Doobie-die-die    Doobie-die-die-die-die-die
       [Am7]   [G] [Am]      [Am7]    [G]      [Am]
Doobie-die-die    Doobie-die-die-die-die-die

[Verse 2]
  [Am7]   [G]          [Am]        [Am7] [G] [Am]
I try to walk down a city street
  [Am7]   [G]        [Am]          [Am7] [G] [Am]
I say hello to the people I meet
        [Am7]          [G]   [Am]               [Am7] [G] [Am]
They're walking their way, thinking I'm crazy
      [Am7]         [G]           [Am]             [Am7] [G] [Am]
But I have so much trouble just keeping the beat

[Chorus]
         [G]              [C]               [Dm]             [Em]
Well, my way of life is simple, 'cause I just do what I please
    [F]                          [E]               [Am]
Whatever I was blessed with, it wasn't a life of peace

[Instrumental 1]
[Am7] [G] [Am] x12  
[Am7] [D] [Am] x4

[Verse 3]
    [Am7]  [G]         [Am]        [Am7] [G] [Am]
Oh, maybe I'm just a country boy
    [Am7] [G]        [Am]            [Am7] [G] [Am]
The city life will bring me no joy
          [Am7]        [G]         [Am]             [Am7] [G] [Am]
Well it's bringing me down, it's making me lonely
            [Am7]         [G]          [Am]         [Am7] [G] [Am]
You see I'm fooling with life and it ain't no toy

[Chorus]
        [G]              [C]               [Dm]             [Em]
Well my way of life is simple, 'cause I just do what I please
        [F]                          [E]          [Am]
And whenever I got problems, I just call upon Aries

[Instrumental 2]
[Am7] [G] [Am]

[Outro]
       [Am7]   [G] [Am]      [Am7]    [G]      [Am]
Doobie-die-die    Doobie-die-die-die-die-die
       [Am7]   [G] [Am]      [Am7]    [G]      [Am]
Doobie-die-die    Doobie-die-die-die-die-die
