 This generally makes it easier to shift between chords, and makes
 things a bit more interesting than playing them straight, although
 it's not always appropriate -- in the bridge for instance]

[C]  [D]  [C]  [D]

[C]Never been [D]near a uni[C]versi[D]ty   [C]      [D]         [C]            [D]

[C]Never took a [D]paper or a [C]learned deg[D]ree  [C]     [D]        [C]           [D]

[G]Some of your friends think that's [Asus4]stupid of me,

But it's [C]nothing that I care a[D]bout,

Well I [C]don't know [D]how to tell the [G]weight of the [Am7]sun,

And all [C]mathe[D]matics well [G]I just [Am7]shun,

And I [G]may be the mayor of [E]simpleton, but I [Am]know one [D]thing,

And that's I [C]love [D]you  [C]      [D]

When their [C]logic grows [D]cold and all [C/E]thinking gets [D/F#]done,

You'll be [C/G]warm in the [D/A]arms of the [D]mayor of simple[G]ton [C]     [G]        [G]

I can't have been there when brains were handed round
(Please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton)
Or get past the covers of your books profound
(Please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton)
Some of your friends think it's really unsound
That you're even seen talking to me

Well I don't know how to write a big hit song,
And all mathematics well I want none,
And I may be the mayor of simpleton, but I know one thing,
And that's I love you

I'm not [Bm]proud of the fact that I [Em]never learned much,

Just [G]feel I should say,

What you [Bm]get is all real, I can't pu[Em]t on an act,

it takes [C]brains to do that [D]anyway (and anyway)

Well I don't know how to puzzle problems and puns
And a home computer has me on the run
And I may be the mayor of simpleton, but I know one thing,
And that's I love you (I love you)

If depth of feeling is a currency
(Please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton)
Then I'm the man who grew the money tree
(No chain of office and no hope of getting one)
Some of your friends are to brainy to see
That they're paupers and that's how they'll all stay

Well I don't know how many needles make up a ton
Of all the Nobel prizes that I never one,
And I may be the mayor of simpleton, but I know one thing,
And that's I love you

When their [C]logic grows [D]cold and all [C/E]thinking gets [D/F#]done,

You'll be [C/G]warm in the [D/A]arms of the [D]mayor of simple[G]ton [C]     [G]        [G]
You'll be warm in the arms of the mayor of simpleton

You'll be [C]warm in the arms of the [D7sus4]mayor  [A]

(Please be upstanding for the mayor of simpleton)
