      C      G             Am  
Mama told me... when I was young  
            C       G         Am  
Said sit beside me... my only son  
              C        G          Am  
And listen close-l-y... to what I say.  
           C         G                     Am  
And if you do this... It will help you so-me sunny day.  

           C        G                 Am  
Take your time son... Don't live too fa-st,  
             C      G                Am  
Troubles will co-me... and they will pa-ss.  
            C      G                 Am   
Go find a wom-an... and you'll find lo-ve,  
            C          G                 Am        
And don't forget son... There is someone up-above.  


         C        G        Am  
And be a sim-ple... kind of m-an  
       C      G                  Am  
Or Be some-thing... you love-and un-derstand.  
            C      G           Am  
Baby,  be a sim-ple... kind of m-an 
          C               G           Am  
Won't you do this for me s-on, If you can?  

(picking) 
              C    G                   Am  
Forget your lu-st... for the rich man's go-ld  
               C    G                  Am  
All that you need n-o-w...is in your so-ul,  
            C             G             Am  
And you can do th-is...oh baby, if you t-r-y.  
            C               G           Am  
All that I want for you my son... Is to b-e sat-is-fied

Baby,  be a sim-ple... kind of m-an 
          C               G           Am  
Won't you do this for me s-on, If you can?  
(picking) 
                   C     G                Am  
Boy, don't you wor-ry... you'll find yourself.  
              C     G             Am  
Follow your he-art... and nothing else.  
            C             G             Am  
And you can do th-is...oh baby, if you t-r-y.  
            C               G           Am  
All that I want for you my son... Is to b-e sat-is-fied.

Won't you do this for me s-on, If you can?
