Lyrics

Many years ago
Was walkin to the store
Holdin' on to my mommas hand
We passed by this fella
His guitar was yellow
And I tossed a shiny quarter in his can

And on that very day
I said 'Howd you learn to play'?
Tell me whats the secret in your head
He smiled a toothless grin
I was only ten
But I never will forget just what he said:

Chorus:
Keep it simple baby
Keep it simple my child
You can go fast
You can go slow
But don't go fixin' what aint broke
Just keep it simple baby

Well first I learned the blues
Like everyone should do
That opened up the door to rock and roll
I learned to pick some country
Started getting funky
Figured out this white girls got some soul

Chorus

Bridge:
You don't need a lot of words to say what you want to say
You dont need all the frets to play what you want to play

Chorus

A B C D E F G

Just learn the first, two or three

And keep it simple baby
