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]

Some of your friends think that's stupid of me,
DO RE
But it's nothing that I care about,
DO RE SOL LAm7
Well I don't know how to tell the weight of the sun,
DO RE SOL LAm7
And all mathematics well I just shun,

DO RE DO RE
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 proud of the fact that I never learned much,
SOL

it takes brains to do that 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
