[Verse 1]
C CWell, Scarlett and Jonny were just thick as thieves, just two old teens who never cared much
Amfor the material things
C C AmThe brawn and the brain, with the whole world to gain, but they would choose to abstain,
F Fm C G AmThey wanted to break free, and have some self-discovery, so they found a field with a lonely old tree,
F Fm GThat’s the place they learned to really see
[Verse 2]
C C AmNow as time just ran, this girl and young man, just stuck to the plan of having no plan at all,
C C Am GTake it day by day, and when the skies are gray, bring the sun in their own kinda way,
F Fm C G AmYou see they’ve heard these things, ‘bout the American dream, but a nine to five ain’t really what they need,
F Fm G G/BCause they found happiness underneath that tree.
[Chorus]
C AmThey always knew there was more to life than making a wage but being sad about their days
F/A G/B Am/CThey thought life was about laughing and love and the Good Lord above, so there was no time for anything less.
Em G CThey had each other, some food to eat, a field of wheat, and the shade from a tree
[Interlude]
C
[Verse 3]
C Am EmNow Jonny and Scarlett, with a bow in her hair, and not a single care, just talked about life being unfair
C C Am EmThey asked, “Why Do children cry and our pets die and bad things happen to the good guy?”
F Fm C G Am“It’s all in God’s plan, we’re all in His hand, maybe it’s just better off that way.”
F Fm GIn the end, we’ll both be OK
[Chorus]
C AmThey always knew there was more to life than making a wage but being sad about their days
F/A G/B Am/CThey thought life was about laughing and love and the Good Lord above, so there was no time for anything less.
Em G CThey had each other, some food to eat, a field of wheat, and the shade from a tree
[Interlude]
C Am
[Verse 4]
C C AmUnder that tree they were truly free, they found real beauty and they learned about the birds and the bees
C C Am GThey’ve spoke about all kinds of things, like the bloom of spring and even a wedding ring
F Fm C G AmBut there was not a penny in his pocket, and he really didn’t mind it, “it’s really kinda freeing” he thought
F Fm GThey’ve found love that money had not bought
[Chorus B]
C AmThey always knew there was more to life than making a wage but being sad about their days
F/A G/B Am/CThey thought life was about laughing and love and the Good Lord above, so there was no time for anything less.
Em G AmThey had each other, some food to eat, a field of wheat, and the shade from a tree
Em G CAnd in the end that's really all they need
