      E                E 
Little yellow house sittin' on a hill 
 
    E            E 
That is where he lived 
 
     E           E 
That is where he died 
 
   A 
Every Sunday morning 
 
        A                E 
Hear the weeping willows cry. 
 
 
 
  E 
Two children born 
 
 E 
A beautiful wife 
 
 E                             E 
Four walls and livin's all he needed in life 
 
  A                         E 
Always givin' never asking back 
 
   Bsus2     C#m           Bsus2 
I wish I had a simple love like that. 
 
 
 
  E                   E 
I want a simple love like that 
 
  A              Am 
Always giving, never asking back 
 
         E               C#m       
for when I'm in my final hour lookin' back 
 
          E    Bsus2            E 
I hope I had a simple love like that. 
 
 
 
second verse: 
 
E                    E 
My momma was his only little girl 
 
 E                                        E 
If he'd had the money he'd have given her the world 
 
A                                              E 
Sittin' on the front porch together they would sing 
 
Bsus2            C#m     Bsus2 
Oh how I long to hear that harmony.
