Music Video: "Simple Treasures" written and sung by Greg Vanderlaan

https://youtu.be/CLWIRyF0YnQ  

This song is about Dancing in the Mud in RFK Stadium at a Grateful Dead Concert. AND Working at WREX Plastics Factory making wheelchair wheels... on the Graveyard Shift. 

It includes two of my Favorite Chords. 

E*=e0,B0,G6,D7,A7,E0

E**=e0,B0,G4,D5,A5,E0

(NC)=No Chord=eBGDAE

E     G       D       A

Thank God for simple treasures

E     G       D        A

Thank God for rock and roll

E        G       D       A

An arena full of singing people...

D                         A

a blessed time to ease my soul

Chorus:

E              E* E**

Dancing in the MUD

E**        A (NC) E

in a stadium

E               E*

when I hear the drums

E**           A (NC) E

I know that I belong

E                 E*  E**

the hammer on the gong

E**          A (NC) E

and the momentum

E               E*  E**

will reveal the truth

E**           A (NC) E

hidden for so long

Thank God for simple treasures

Thank God for my guitar

it has a magic healing power

PARA VIVIR, YO CANTAR

Chorus:

Thank God for simple treasures

Thank God for my machine

I make another 30 wheels then,

take a rag and wipe it clean

Chorus:

In the factory

working all night long

making plastic wheels

until the break of dawn
