[Intro]
| D | D |

[Verse 1]
D A D
If I were a shining sun,
G A
I'd shine to keep you warm.
D A D
Or if I were a shield,
G A
I'd shelter you from harm,
G D D
you'd be safe in my arms.

[Chorus 1]
D A/C# G/B A
But I'm neither sun nor shield,
D A/C# G/B A
I'm not made of fire or steel.
D A G A
But if you'll love this simple man
D G A A
I'll do the best I can,
G G D D D D
though I'm just a simple man.

[Verse 2]
D A D
If I were a mighty king,
G A
living in a palace grand,
D A D
I'd bring you gold from Babylon
G A
and silk from Samarkand
G D D
and I'd place them in your hand

[Chorus 2]
D A/C# G/B A
But I have neither power nor wealth,
D A/C# G/B A
all I can give you is myself.
D A G A
If you'll love this simple man
D G A A
I'll do the best I can,
G G D D D D
though I'm just a simple man.
