So I know that there are a few other tabs of this song on the site, but after trying 
them they don't seem
quite right to me. Here is what I think is right, but if I am wrong, please don't 
hesitate to comment below.
Enjoy.

This song is in Standard Tuning [EADGBe] with a capo on the 6th fret, all tabs are in 
relation to the capo.
I wasn't able to figure out a way to show the strumming pattern, so just listen to the 
song to get it right
(it's a fairly simple pattern) I also am not 100% positive on the solo, but I did my 
best and if you play
 it at the right speed it sounds about right; once again, feel free to comment with any 
changes to the solo.

LYRICS
[INTRO x 5 throughout first verse]
If I was a simple man,
Would we still walk hand in hand?
And if I suddenly went blind,
Would you still look in my eyes?
What happens when I grow old?
And all my stories have been told?
Will your heart still race for me?
Or will it march to a new beat?
If I was a simple man
[BRIDGE x 4]
[VERSE x 5]If I was a simple man,
I'd own no home, I'd own no land
Would you still stand by my side?
And would our flame still burn so bright?
Sometimes I wonder why,
I'm so full of these endless rhymes
About the way I feel inside
I wish I could just get it right
[BRIDGE x 2]
[VERSE x 3]If I was a simple man
And I could make you understand
There'd be no reason to think twice
You'd be my sun; you'd be my light
[SOLO]If I was a simple man...
If I was a simple man...
[VERSE x 8]Sometimes I wonder why
I'm so full of these endless rhymes
About the way I feel inside
I wish...
Sometimes...Sometimes...
Sometimes...Sometimes...
Sometimes...Sometimes...
Sometimes...Sometimes...
Sometimes...Sometimes...
Sometimes...Sometimes...
