Look for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities,
   C              A                Dm     G                        
Forget about your worries and your strife 
            C                    F                                   
I mean the bare necessities, old Mother Nature's recipes,
      C         Am       Dm   G      C                       
that brings the bare necessities of life


           G                  C                                          
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam,

I couldn't be fonder of my big home

The bees are buzzin' in the tree,
             C              Am                                            
To make some honey just for me
       D                 D7                                              
When you look under the rocks and plants,
    G                     G7                                               
and take a glance at the fancy ants,
     C           A                                                       
Then maybe try a few
           Dm           G                 C

                 C                         F                                 
Look for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities,

Forget about your worries and your strife 
            C                       F

      C       Am     Dm   G       C                       
With just the bare necessities of life
                                                                           

                    G                    C                                  
Now when you pick a pawpaw, or a prickly pear,
                G                        C     C7                                
And you prick a raw paw, the next time beware
                F                  Dm                                         
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw,
                C                    Am                                       
When you pick a pear, try to use the claw.
        D                    D7                                                    
But you don't need to use the claw
         G                  G7                                            
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
 C                  A                                                        
Have I given you a clue?
           Dm            G                C
