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
