[Verse]
          C       G          Am
Well Mama told me, when I was young
         C         G        Am
Said 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'll help you some sunny day. Ah, yeah, it will

Oh take your time... Don't live too fast,
                C   G               Am
Troubles will come,  and they will pass.
              C     G                Am
You'll find a woman, and you'll find love,
               C

There is someone up above.

And be a simple  kind of man.

Baby, be a simple  kind of man.

Oh won't you do this for me son,

If you can? If you can.

All that you need now   is in your soul,
              C                G        Am
And you can do this, oh baby   if you try.

Follow your heart     and nothing else.
