tips: -at the start of the riff, use finger #1 on frets two and three, its easier
-it also sound better when you sound all the notes, so hold them
-the bends are also whole bends, that means you pull down then up to their
original tones
The main riff is played in the background

	this song is about just being a simple person and leading a simple life, not getting too complex and that problems will pass. as long as you are happy with yourself, then you will be ahppy

No Picture Brian Average	#2 by Brian Dempsey at Jan 15, 2006 at 7:56 PM EST
	Heard this on my rollerblading video (closer Razor team video) and i seached for it and i found it... dispite how hard i try and belive how songs are about how you can make things better it usually ends up just being a sorrow filled song... this song is nice... verry nice... lynyrd skynyrd is a great band.

	I almost shed tears for this song when I first heard it. The song is so simple yet not many people in this world could understand or remember what their mommas told them when they were young. To me, I became more aware about my mother's love for me, and this song really became a manual for the meaning of life. Honestly, if everyone in this world would just listen to their mommas I think people would be much happier, we wouldn't need any more psychiatrists and people like Hitler or Nixon won't really be there ;)

No Picture Curtis Rhythm Player	#6 by Curtis Lee at Dec 2, 2006 at 2:39 PM EST
	Perfect song. best skynnard song next to tuesdays gone. i think everyone else has summarized the song pretty good

No Picture kyle Professional	#7 by kyle mcdonough at Jun 17, 2007 at 11:06 AM EST
	Heard this song for the 1st time on a beer commercial...sucks thats how I found out about it. I just went through something huge in my life and this song made me feel like I made the right choices..."Troubles will come and they will pass" is right on. Nothing like some Skynyrd to feel good about music and yourself.

No Picture Derek Average	#8 by Derek Mayfield at Oct 9, 2007 at 5:24 PM EST
	Basically, live your life so that you'll love yourself for everything you do. Don't worry about worldly things, they come and go. Only do what you want to do, follow your heart, and be proud of all of your accomplishments.
