"Old Man"
(Bryan Maclean)


Intro: D Dsus4 [8X; bass enters 3rd time]
/ / / /

Verse 1:

D
I once knew a man
Em A F
Been everywhere in the world
Em
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

Bridge:

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
Am
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
Cm G
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

Coda:

D Dsus4 D Dsus4
Dear old man
D Dsus4 D Dsus4
Wise old man
D Dsus4 D Dsus4
Fine old man, now
