[NC] Look for the [G] bare necessities, the [C] simple bare necessities,
[G7] forget about your [E7] worries and your [Am] strife. [D7]
I mean the - [G] bare ne[G7]cessities, old [C] Mother Nature's [C7]recipes,
that [G7] brings the [E7] bare ne[Am]cessi[D7]ties of [G] life.
Wherever I [D] wander, wherever I [G] roam,
I couldn't be [D] fonder of my big [G] home.[G7]
The bees are [C] buzzin' in the [Cm] tree,
to make some [G7] honey just for [E7] me.
When [A7sus4] you (STOP) look under the [A7] rocks (STOP) and plants,
and [D] (STOP) take a glance at the [D7] fancy ants,
then [G7] maybe try a [E7] few
The bare ne[Am]cessities of [D7] life will come to [G] you. (STOP)
[NC] Look for the [G] bare ne[G7]cessities, the [C] simple bare ne[C7]cessities,

I mean the [G] bare ne[G7]cessities, that's [C] why a bear can [C7] rest at ease
with [G7] just the [E7] bare ne[Am]cessi[D7]ties of [G] life.
Now when you pick a [D] pawpaw, or a prickly [G] pear,
and you prick a [D] raw paw, the next time [G] beware. [G7]
Don't pick the [C] prickly pear by the [Cm] paw,
when you pick a [G7] pear, try to use the [E7] claw.
But [A7sus4] you (STOP) don't need to [A7] use (STOP) the claw
when [D] (STOP) you pick a pear of the [D7] big pawpaw.
[G7] Have I given you a [E7] clue?
The bare ne[Am]cessities of [D7] life will come to [G]y ou . . .
[D7] they'll come to [G] you!
[NC] Look for the [G] bare necessities, the [C] simple bare necessities,
