Simple Man(Chords)

	        C       
My Mama told me   
G           Am  
When I was    young  
           C        
Come sit beside me  
G        Am  
My only    son  
           C       
And listen closely   
G          Am  
To what I    say  
           C               G  
And if you do this it will help you   
     Am  
Some    sunny day  

          C    
Take your time  
G              Am  
Don't live too fast  
              C     
Troubles will come   
G              Am  
And they will    pass  
          C          
Go find a woman and   
G            Am  
You'll find    love  
                  G  
And don't forget, son there is someone   
     Am  
Up    above  

        C        
And be a simple   
G         Am  
Kind of    man  
    C         
Be something   
G                Am  
You love and understand  

            C      
Baby, be a simple   
G         Am  
Kind of    man  
          C               G  
Won't you do this for me, son?  
       Am  
If you can?  

              C      
Boy, don't you worry  
G             Am  
You'll find yourself  
            C      
Follow your heart   
G           Am  
And nothing else  
            C    
And you can do this   
G      Am  
If you try  
      C                G  
All I want for you, my son  
           Am  
Is to be    satisfied  

         C      
And be a simple   
G         Am  
Kind of    man  
      C        
Be something   
G                Am  
You love and understand  

            C     
Baby, be a simple   
G         Am  
Kind of    man  
          C               G  
Won't you do this for me, son?  
       Am  
If you can?  

         C      
Now be a simple   
G         Am 
Kind of    man  
      C        
Be something   
G                Am  
You love and understand
