[Verse 1]

     C      G           Am     Am7
Mama told me when I was young
          C       G         Am    Am7
Come sit beside me, my only son
           C      G          Am    Am7
And listen closely to what I say
           C
And if you do this
      G             Am                  Am7
It'll help you some sunny day. Oh Yeah!

[Verse 2]

              C    G                 Am     Am7
Oh, take your time... Don't live too fast,
              C   G              Am    Am7
Troubles will come and they will pass.
              C          G                Am    Am7
You'll find a woman, yea yea, you'll find love,
          C
And don't forget son,
         G          Am   Gadd11 Am
There is someone up above.


[Chorus]

         C     G         Am   Gadd11 Am
And be a simple, kind of man.
      C        G                   Am   Gadd11 Am
Oh be something, you love and understand.
          C     G         Am   Gadd11 Am
Baby be a simple, kind of man.
              C              G
Oh, won't you do this for me son,
       Am   Gadd11 Am
If you can?

[Verse 3]

            C   G                    Am    Am7
Forget your lust, for the rich man's gold
             C   G            Am    Am7
All that you need, is in your soul,
            C           G            Am    Am7
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try.
           C               G
All that I want for you my son,
      Am           Gadd11 Am
Is to be satisfied.


[Chorus]

          C     G        Am  Gadd11 Am
And be a simple, kind of man.
      C        G                   Am   Gadd11 Am
Oh be something, you love and understand.
          C     G         Am   Gadd11 Am
Baby be a simple, kind of man.
              C              G
Oh, won't you do this for me son,
       Am   Gadd11 Am
If you can?

Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
            C     G            Am    Am7
Follow your heart, and nothing else.
               C            G        Am    Am7
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try.
           C               G

Baby be a simple, kind of man.

If you can?

Baby be a simple, real simple man.
      C        G                   Am   Gadd11 Am
Oh be something, you love and understand.

Baby be a simple, kind of man.
