This song comes from the movie "Father of the Bride".
I have no idea who wrote it or who performs it for the
movie. I don't Know the title But I'm guessing that it is
called:
"The Simple Life"

If anyone can tell me who wrote this tune
If you aren't familiar with these chords or
style, I would recommend Mickey Baker's Complete
Course in Jazz Guitar-book 1; if it is still in print.
