I once knew a man
Em A FBeen everywhere in the world
Gave me a tiny ivory ball
F#m B GSaid it would bring me good
Cm G BmNever believed it would until
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

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

C Bm Cm G Bm Bbsus2Took you up all in my arms
Coda:
Dear old man
