Look for the [C] bare necessities, the [F] simple bare necessities,
[C] Forget about your [A] worries and your [Dm] strife [G]
I mean the [C] bare necessities, old [F] Mother Nature's recipes, that [C] brings the [Am] bare ne[Dm]cessi [G]ties of [C] life
Wherever I [G] wander, wherever I [C] roam,
I couldn't be [G] fonder of my big [C] home [C7]
The bees are [F] buzzin' in the [Dm] tree,
To make some [C] honey just for [Am] me
When [D] you look under the [D7] rocks and plants,
and [G] take a glance at the [G7] fancy ants,
Then [C] maybe try a [A] few
The bare ne[Dm]cessities of [G] life will come to [C] you
Look for the [C] bare necessities, the [F] simple bare necessities,
[C] Forget about your [A] worries and your [Dm] strife
[G] I mean the [C] bare necessities, that's [F] why a bear can rest at ease
With [C] just the [Am] bare ne[Dm]cessi [G]ties of [C] life
