        C                      G 
slowin' down to take a look at me. 
         Em   D             C     G

       C               G                  C              G 
We may lose and we may win though we will never be here again.

 Simple Man    (Graham Nash)

     I   am   a simple man, so I sing a simple song

           Am          G                  F
     I've never been so much in love and never hurt so bad

           C(add D)    C   C(add D)   C
     At the  same  time

      C(add D)             C       Em7              Em
     I   am   a simple man, and I play a simple tune

        Am                G             F
     I wish that I could see you once again across the room

                C       G
     Like the first time

        F                                               C   G
     I just want to hold you, I don't want to hold you down

        F                                                      C
     I hear what you're saying, and you're spinning my head around

                  G        F
     And I can't make it alone

     C(add D)   C   Em7   Em   Am   G   F   /   C(add D)   C   C(add D)   C

        C(add D)            C        Em7               Em
     The ending of the tale, is the singing of the song

      Am               G                F
     Make me proud to be your man only you can make me strong

               C       G
     Like the last time

        F                                               C   G
     I just want to hold you, I don't want to hold you down

        F                                                      C
     I hear what you're saying, and you're spinning my head around

                  G        F
     And I can't make it alone
