#Intro: D Dsus4 (8X; bass enters 3rd time)
Verse 1:
[D]I once knew a man
[Em]Been everyw[A]here in the w[F]orld
Gave me a tiny i[Em]vory ball
[F#m]Said it would b[B]ring me g[G]ood
[Cm]Never believed it [G]would un[Bm]til
[C] [Bbsus2] (x13311)
I have been loving you
Dear old man
He'd seen most everything
Gave me a piece of good advice
Said it would do me well
I couldn't really tell until
I have been loving you
Bridge:
Asus2 (x02200)
Now it seems
Things are not so strange
I can see more clearly
Suddenly I've found my w[G]ay
I know the old man would l[F#m]augh
He spoke of [Bm]love's sweeter d[G]ays
[Em]And in his e[A]loquent w[F]ay
[Bbm]I think he was speaking of y[F]ou
[Am]You are so lovely
You didn't have to say a t[D]hing
Verse 3:
But I remember that old man
Telling me he'd seen the light
Gave me a small brown leather book
Insisted that he was right
[Cm]I only heard him sl[G]ightly
[Bm]'Til I [Cm]heard you w[G]hisper
[C]Took you [Bm]up all [Cm]in my a[G]rms[Bm][Bbsus2]
Coda:
[D]Dear old man[Dsus4][D][Dsus4]
[D]Wise old man[Dsus4][D][Dsus4]
[D]Fine old man,[Dsus4] now[D][Dsus4]
