Intro: G# Fm G Cm
Verse 1:
As I G#walk through the valley where I Fmharvest my grain
I take a Glook at my wife and realCmize she's very plain
But tG#hat's just perfect for an FmAmish like me
You know I Gshun fancy things like eCmlectricity
At G#4:30 in the morning I'm mFmilkin' cows
GJebediah feeds the chickens and CmJacob plows fool
And G#I've been milkin' and Fmplowin' so long that
GEven Ezekiel thinks that my Cmmind is gone
I'm aG# man of the land, I'm Fminto discipline
Got a GBible in my hand and a Cmbeard on my chin
But if I G#finish all of my chores and Fmyou finish thine
Then Gtonight we're gonna party like it's 1Cm699
Chorus 1:
G# We been spending Fmmost our lives living iGn an Amish pCmaradise
G# I've churned butter Fmonce or twice living Gin an Amish Cmparadise
G# It's hard work andFm sacrifice living Gin an Amish Cmparadise
G# We sell quilts at Fmdiscount price livingG in an Amish pCmaradise
Verse 2:
A lG#ocal boy kicked me in the Fmbutt last week
I just sGmiled at him and I tCmurned the other cheek
I rG#eally don't care, in fact I Fmwish him well
'Cause I'll be lGaughing my head off when he's bCmurning in Hell
But I G#ain't never punched a tourist even Fmif he deserved it
An AGmish with a 'tude? You Cmknow that's unheard of
I nG#ever wear buttons but I gFmot a cool hat
And my Ghomies agree I really lCmook good in black fool
G#If you come to visit, you'll be Fmbored to tears
We haven't Geven paid the phone bill in Cm300 years
But we G#ain't really quaint, so Fmplease don't point and stare
We're Gjust technologically C#impaired
Bridge:
There's noG# phone, no lights, no Fmmotorcar not a Gsingle luxCmury
Like G#Robinson CFmaruso it's as pGrimitive as can Cmbe
Chorus 2:
G# We been spending Fmmost our lives living Gin an Amish CmParadise
G# We're just plain andFm simple guys living Gin an Amish CmParadise
G# There's no time for Fmsin and vice living Gin an Amish CmParadise

Verse 3:
G#Hitchin' up the buggy, Fmchurnin' lots of butter
GRaised a barn on Monday, sCmoon I'll raise an 'utter
G#Think you're really righteous? FmThink you're pure in heart?
Well, I Gknow I'm a million time as Cmhumble as thou art
G#I'm the pious guy the little FmAmlettes want to be like
On my kGnees day and night scorin' pCmoints for the afterlife
G#So don't be vain and doFmn't be whiny
Or else, Gmy brother, I might have to get mCmedieval on your heinie
