Van Morrison - Village Idiot: chords

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
