C G Am Mama told me, when I was young C G Am Come sit beside me, my only son C G Am And listen closely, to what I say. C And if you do this G Am It will help you some sunny day. Interlude: C G Am C G Am Take your time... Don't live too fast, C G Am Troubles will come, and they will pass. C G Am Go find a woman, and you'll find love, C And don't forget that, G Am There is someone up above. Chorus: C G Am And be a simple kind of man. C G Am Be something you love and understand. C G Am Be a simple kind of man. C G Won't you do this for me son, Am If you can? Verse -same three chords-: Forget your lust for the rich man's gold All that you need is in your soul, And you can do this if you try. All that I want for you my son, Is to be satisfied. Chorus: C G Am And be a simple kind of man. C G Am Be something you love and understand. C G Am Be a simple kind of man. C G Won't you do this for me son, Am If you can? Verse -same three chords-: Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself. Follow you heart and nothing else. And you can do this if you try. All I want for you my son, Is to be satisfied. Chorus: C G Am And be a simple kind of man. C G Am Be something you love and understand. C G Am Be a simple kind of man. C G Won't you do this for me son, Am If you can?
