Simple Man

(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?
