Play a simple song

Oh my friend won't you tell me what to do?
a'They don't seem to understand.
I try so hard to make my music tell the truth.
a'Can't you lend a helpin' hand?

You gotta play a simple song for them.
a'That's the only thing they want to love and understand.
Won't you play a simple song for them?

Well I think that the songs are doin' fine.
Well I can tell what's on their mind.
You lend a hand now I'm doin' all I can
to help the people understand.

You gotta play a simple song for them.
That's the only thing they want to love and understand.
Won't you play a simple song for them?
Oh my Lord I'll try, I'll try and try again.

You gotta play a simple song for them.
That's the only thing they want to love and understand.
Won't you play a simple song for them?
