guitar chords lyrics
[Spoken]:
I hope that in your life, and in your world.
I hope the good, will always outweigh the bad, in everything you do, and everything that's given to you.
Unfortunately that doesn't always occur.
See there's this thing, and it's called tragedy, and it has absolutely no mercy for anyone, or anything.
During the course of touring, we've played a lot of different cities, lot of different stages, and had some of the most incredible experiences.
And we played some in, with in... with some incredible musicians.
But there was this one guy, that we met, and from the very first day that we met him, all he ever did, was treat us like we were one of his own, like we were in his family.
Not only did we get to share the stage with him, we were inspired by him, and we called him our friend.
And we miss him very much.
He was an amazing man, and he was a very loving and extremely generous person, and he was an incredible talent.
So this song's called Simple Man, and it's dedicated to our friend, .
Well Momma told me, when I was young
Said sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely, to what I say
Well Momma told me, when I was young
Said sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely, to what I say
And if you do this, it'll help you, some sunny day
Well, oh yeah it will, yeah it will
Oh take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come, and they will pass
You'll find a woman, and you'll find love
And don't forget that, there is someone, up above
And be a simple, kind of man
And be something, you love and understand
Baby be a simple, kind of man
Oh won't you do this, for me son, if you can
Forget your lust, for rich man's gold
All that you need now, is in your soul
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied
And be a simple, kind of man
Be something, you love and understand
Baby be a simple, kind of man
Oh won't you do this, for me son, if you can
Oh, don't you worry, you'll find yourself
Follow your heart, and nothing else
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied
And be a simple, kind of man
Be something, you love and understand
Baby be a simple, kind of man
Oh won't you do this, for me son, if you can
