Look for the 
F7                    A#     -      A#7   -
Bare necessities, The simple bare necessities
F       -         D7       -       G7    -          
Forget about your worries and your strife
C7    -    F  -   F7   -
I mean the bare necessities
   A#     -        A#7    - 
Or Mother Nature's recipes
     F   --    D7 -- G7 -- C7  --  F -- A#7 -- F -  
That bring the bare necessities of life


           C7                 F
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
              C7               F   -  F7
I couldn't be fonder of my big home
    -        A#      -      A#m     -            
The bees are buzzin' in the tree
             F       -      G7     -
To make some honey just for me
Dm        -        D7      -
You look under the rocks and plants
    Gm    --      D7 --  Gm -- C7 --  
And take a glance at the fancy ants
     F    -      D7
Then maybe try a few


           Gm7    -     C7        -       F -- Dm -- Gm --
The bare necessities of life will come to you
        C7  --  F -- D#7 -- F -
They'll come to you!


Look for the 
F7                    A#     -      A#7   -
Bare necessities The simple bare necessities
F       -         D7       -       G7    -    
Forget about your worries and your strife
C7    -    F  -   F7   -
I mean the bare necessities
       A#     -       A#7    - 
That's why a bear can rest at ease
     F  --    D7 -- G7 -- C7  --  F -- A#7 -- F -  
With just the bare necessities of life


                C7                  F
When you pick a pawpaw or a prickly pear
                C7                   F   -  F7
And you prick a raw paw, next time beware
      -        A#         -        A#m     -   
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
                F          -         G7      -   
When you pick a pear, try to use the claw
    Dm        -       D7      -
But you don't need to use the claw
         Gm    --    D7 --  Gm --  C7 --  
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
       F    -      D7
Have I given you a clue ?


           Gm7    -     C7        -       F -- Dm -- Gm --
The bare necessities of life will come to you
        C7  --  F -- D#7 -- F -
They'll come to you!

F7                    A#     -      A#7   -
Bare necessities, The simple bare necessities
F       -         D7       -       G7    -          
Forget about your worries and your strife
C7    -    F  -   F7   -
I mean the bare necessities
   A#     -        A#7    - 
Or Mother Nature's recipes
     F   --    D7 -- G7 -- C7  --  F -- A#7 -- F -  
That bring the bare necessities of life


                 C7             F
So just try to relax, in my backyard
                     C7                           F   -  F7
If you act like that bee acts, you're working too hard
        -        A#         -       A#m     -   
Don't spend your time just lookin' around
                  F         -        G7      -   
For something you want that can't be found
     Dm          -        D7      -
When you find out you can live without it
    Gm  --   D7--Gm   --   C7 --  
And go along not thinkin' about it
     F         -        D7
I'll tell you something true


           Gm7    -     C7        -       F -- Dm -- Gm --
The bare necessities of life will come to you
        C7  --  F -- D#7 -- F
They'll come to you!
