Intro:
Bm A D G D
 
D                  G              D
You can offer me a diamond-plated pearl;
D         Bm                          A
You can send me all the riches in the world;
D                         G          D
You can tempt me with the palaces of kings;
Bm                             A                 D     G   D
I'd give 'em back in a big ol' sack and keep the simple things
 
             G                           D
I've got the simple things; I've got the rain in spring,
          E                               A
Got spicy chicken wings, and French-fried onion rings
 
         D            G       D
You can line me up a mile of limousines;
    Bm                              A
For me it don't add up to a hill o' beans;
         D             G             D
I got no hankerin' for grabbin' your brass ring;
       Bm                            A                  D     G   D
It's crystal clear - I'll stay right here and keep the simple things
 
             G                     D
I've got the summer breeze, got 16 cans of peas,
            E                    A
A two-speed window fan when it's 93 degrees,
    D                 G                   D
So forgive me for not grabbin' your brass ring; 
             Bm                      A                  D     G   D
It's crystal clear - I'll stay right here and keep the simple things
             Bm                      A                  D     G   D
It's crystal clear - I'll stay right here and keep the simple things

D G A You can send me all the riches in the world; and D G A For me it don't add up to a hill o' beans; it sounds like the D and G chords are supposed to be just a Bm chord form w/ capo on 2nd fret(C#m sound), into the A. Other than that, great :)

This version isn't really in the original key that we heard it in.
