Chord/Tab song: Complicated Life

by The Kinks
from "Muswell Hillbillies"

Intro:

D A A D x2

Verse 1:

[A]Well I woke this morning with a pain in my neck,

[G]A pain in my heart and a pain in my c[D]hest,

[A]I went to the doctor and the good doctor said,

[G]You gotta slow down your life or you're gonna be dead,[D]

[G]Cut out the struggle and strife,[D]

[A]It only complicates your life.[D]

Verse 2:

[A]Well I cut down women, I cut out booze,

[G]I stopped ironing my shirts, cleaning my s[D]hoes,

[A]I stopped going to work, stopped reading the news,

[G]I sit and twiddle my thumbs cos I got nothing to do,[D]

[G]Minimal exercise,[D]

A D (let ring)
To help uncomplicate my life,

(D ringing out through this line)
Gotta stand and face it; life is so complicated,

Chorus:

[D]Ladi dah di dahdah, ladi dah di dah dah,[A]

[A]You gotta get away from the complicated life, son,[D]

[D]Life is overrated, life is complic[A]ated,

[A]Must alleviate this complicated life.[D]

Interlude:

A G D x2

[G]Cut out the struggle and strife,[D]

[A]It's such a complicated life.[D]

Verse 3 (same chords as Verse 2);

Like old Mother Hubbard, I got nothin' in the cupboard,
Got no dinner and I got no supper,
Holes in my shoes, I got holes in my socks,
I can't go to work cos I can't get a job,

The bills are rising sky high,
It's such a complicated life,

Gotta stand and face it; life is so complicated,

Chorus x2

Outro:

[A]Gotta get away from the complicated life, son,[D]

[A]Gotta get away from the complicated life.[D]
