Standard (EADGBE)

Right from early days from the moment I was born

 I would take my guitar in the early early mornin'

 And go down to the fields and play-ay-ay

Sittin' down there in the long grass strummin'

 I could see the people from miles around comin'

 To hear me sing my music and play-ay-ay

Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life (yes and I like it)

Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life (yes and I like it)

Well that's been my kinda life yeah and I wouldn't spend it anywhere

Other than sittin' down somewhere playin' away my days

Well we made it to the city just me and my guitar

That was where I found a freaky little bar

I sat there on the stage and play-ay-ayed

Well up came a guy who said it wasn't plastic

He wanted me to sing away my life or something drastic

But all I wanna do is play-ay-ay

Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life (yes and I like it)

Well that's been my kinda life my kinda life (yes and I like it)

Well that's been my kinda life yeah and I wouldn't spend it anywhere

Other than sittin' down somewhere playin' away my days

Well fame and fortune I've let them pass me by

No one in the country could say I didn't try

To turn the people and to play-ay-ay

You can keep all the money and the places that go with it

Cos all I want is freedom and no cash could ever get it

All I wanna do is play-ay-ay
