I once knew a man

Been everywhere in the world

Gave me a tiny ivory ball
F#m B G
Said it would bring me good
Cm G Bm
Never believed it would until
C Bbsus2 [x13311]
I have been loving you
Verse 2:
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

Asus2 [x02200]
Now it seems
Things are not so strange
I can see more clearly
G
Suddenly I've found my way
F#m
I know the old man would laugh
B G /F#
He spoke of love's sweeter days
Em A F
And in his eloquent way
Bbm F
I think he was speaking of you

You are so lovely
D
You didn't have to say a thing
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

I only heard him slightly
Bm Cm G
'Til I heard you whisper
C Bm Cm G Bm Bbsus2
Took you up all in my arms

Wise old man

Fine old man, now
