Originally recorded in Italian by the Rokes. The acoustic rhythm part is
played on a 12-string tuned down a minor third, so (for example) the C#m
is played as Em, the E as G, etc.

C#m E C#m
When I think of all the worries people seem to find
E C#mAnd how they're in a hurry to complicate their mind
By chasing after money and dreams that can't come true
E C#mI'm glad that we are different, we've better things to do
E C#mMay others plan their future, I'm busy lovin' you (1-2-3-4)
Chorus

A BAnd don't worry 'bout tomorrow, hey, hey, hey
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today

Verse 2:
We were never meant to worry the way that people do
And I don't need to hurry as long as I'm with you
We'll take it nice and easy and use my simple plan
You'll be my lovin' woman, I'll be your lovin' man
We'll take the most from living, have pleasure while we can (2-3-4)
