Guitar lesson for Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd Easy Lesson:
Chords: C G Am Am
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'll help you some sunny day"
"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, son, there is someone up above"

"And be a simple kind of man
Oh, 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 the rich man's gold
All that you need 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
Oh, 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 yes, I will "Boy, 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
Oh, 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"
Baby, be a simple, really simple man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple, kind of simple man

These videos are made to be short and simple. The idea is to make learning the guitar quick and easy. Of-course there is no substitute for practice. Guitar students should practice at least 15-25 minutes/day. It is important that you adhere to this, as without practice, very little progress will be made on the guitar.
