G Em Did you see the lad on the corner? C G He was standing drinking wine Em Wears his overcoat in the summer C G And short sleeves in the winter time Takes his holidays down at the bookies Well, he knows how to pick a horse Village tramping 'round the countryside He wears a smile but he doesn't say much Chorus: Am Bm Village idiot, he's complicated Am Bm Village idiot, simple mind Am Bm Village idiot, he does know something C D But he's just not saying Don't you know he's onto something? You can see it, you can see it in his eyes Sometimes he looks so happy As he goes strolling by Chorus: Oh, village idiot, he's complicated Village idiot, he's got a simple mind Village idiot, must know something But he's just not saying Well, you all know he's onto something You can see it in his eye Sometimes he looks so happy When he goes walking by Sometimes he looks so happy When he goes walking by Sometimes he looks so happy When he goes walking by You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  Bm  C  D  Em  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
