Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “It Was So Easy” dari Carly Simon:

           C
I remember a time
      F
Rompin' through the woods
G                                                    C
Sun against our skin instead of clothes
When we felt hungry we would eat
                 F
When we felt glad we would dance
            G                                                     C
And whenever we felt drowsy we would doze

                  F
It was so easy then
            Bb
Never takin' any stands
                 F
It was so easy then
                G
Holdin' hands

          C
I remember a time
                   F
When our fears could be named
          G                                           C
And courage meant not refusing dares
                                                                           F
I remember when we took such cares to step never on the cracks
No only on the squares
        G
Or else we'd be abducted by the bears

                 F
It was so easy then
              Bb
Never makin' any plans
                 F
It was so easy then
               G
Holdin' hands
                  F
It was so easy then
             Bb
Never makin' any plans
                 F
It was so easy then
                G
Holdin' hands

         C
And now we are grown
           F
With debts and regrets
           G
And broken hearts
                                C
And sentimental schemes
Now every tender failure
                      F
Seems to overthrow old dreams
                 G                                           C
Love can drive a normal woman to extremes

                 F
It was so easy then
            Bb
Never takin' any stands
                F
It was so easy then
               G
Holdin' hands

It was so easy then
               C       G      C
Holdin' hands
