C,G,Am



Mama Ctold me,G when I was Amyoung 

Come sitCbeside me,G my Amonly son 

And listen Cclosely,G to Amwhat I say.

And if you Cdo this

It will Ghelp you some Amsunny day.



Ohh take your time... Don't live too fast,

Troubles will come, and they will pass.

Go find a woman and you'll find love,

And don't forget son,

There is someone up above.



(Chorus)

And be a CsimpleG kind of Amman.

Oh be Csomethin Gyou'll love and Amunderstand.

Baby be a CsimpleG kind of Amman.

Won't you Cdo this for me Gson,

If you Amcan?



Forget your lust for the rich man's gold

All that you need is in your soul,

And you can do this if you try.

All that I want for you my son,

Is to be satisfied.



(Chorus)



Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.

Follow you heart and nothing else.

And you can do this if you try.

All I want for you my son,

Is to be satisfied.



(Chorus)
