Well Mama told me, when I was young

         C         G        Am
Said sit beside me, my only son

           C       G         Am
And listen closely, to what I say.

            C
And if you do this

It'll help you some sunny day. Ah, yeah, it will

               C    G               Am
Oh take your time... Don't live too fast,

                C   G               Am
Troubles will come,  and they will pass.

You'll find a woman, and you'll find love,
