Interlude: D A Bm D A Bm Take your time... Don't live too fast, D A Bm Troubles will come, and they will pass. D A Bm Go find a woman, and you'll find love, D And don't forget that, A Bm There is someone up above. Chorus: D A Bm And be a simple kind of man. D A Bm Be something you love and understand. D A Bm Be a simple kind of man. D A Won't you do this for me son, Bm If you can?
