x(Simple Man was origionally done by Lynyrd Skynyrd and has been remade by Shinedown. I
think they did an excellent job with the acoustic recreation of it, and man can that guy
sing! Well, here you go)
[Verse]
C G Am
Mama told me, when I was young
C G Am
Come 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 will help you some sunny day.
[Instrumental]
C G Am
[Verse]
C G Am
Take your time... Don't live too fast,
C G Am
Troubles will come, and they will pass.
C G Am
Go find a woman, and you'll find love,
C
And don't forget that,
G Am
There is someone up above.
[Chorus]
C G Am
And be a simple kind of man.
C G Am
Be something you love and understand.
C G Am
Be a simple kind of man.
C G
Won't you do this for me son,
Am
If you can?
[Verse]
C G Am
Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
C G Am
All that you need is in your soul,
C G Am
And you can do this if you try.
C
All that I want for you my son,
G Am
Is to be satisfied.
[Chorus]
C G Am
And be a simple kind of man.
C G Am
Be something you love and understand.
C G Am
Be a simple kind of man.
C G
Won't you do this for me son,
Am
If you can?
[Verse]
C G Am
Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
C G Am
Follow you heart and nothing else.
C G Am
And you can do this if you try.
C
All I want for you my son,
G Am
Is to be satisfied.
[Chorus]
C G Am
And be a simple kind of man.
C G Am
Be something you love and understand.
C G Am
Be a simple kind of man.
C G
Won't you do this for me son,
Am
If you can?
