Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.
Take your time... dont live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and youll find love,
And dont forget son,
There is someone up above.

(chorus)
And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Wont you do this for me son,
If you can?

Forget your lust for the rich mans 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, dont you worry... youll 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.

hahaha you said "g-string"!

[geetaRzero23]

not saying u dont play the song the rite way but your teaching it the wrong way i mean what your saying doesnt even match up to what your playing ... maybe u should rehearse some more or think before you talk

[pinoyALLmotorEVOIXMR]

but you're not showing how to pick it. I see the chords but not how to pick it

[thecrazydude52]

i like how you spelled lynyrd skynyrd right haha

[theMstanglover]

@geetaRzero23 Or you could tune it a half down, but it's a pain getting it back in tune imo.

[theMstanglover]

@geetaRzero23 This song is in Ab minor. He would need a capo on the 4th fret and a bass part to accompaniment with him to cover the F# on the second fret that's not possible when you have a capo. It can't be played all at once unless you were to play it at A minor which is what he is doing. Just shows that the guitarists were pretty clever. Took me awhile to figure this out. I won't give you a hard time though. When i got the chords and tried to play with the song I had the same reaction.

@mustkillbarney121 the song should be a halfstep down, so

[anythingoes129]

where did u get th chords? i cant find them on ultimate guitar

[mustkillbarney121]

@MVLINEMAN he should be in standard

[MVLINEMAN]

hey bro what tuning are u in?

[Asheybbylove]

Jon your gorgeous, i dont mind learning when im watching ;) lol

I love the way you play!! People expect so much from a turorial. I learned this song in about 15 minutes just by this video and figuring out some parts on how to play by myself (sometimes the way you explain is hard to understand)- but works just fine <3

Thank You for this Song!
