I wrote the song when I was living in England.
And the seeds of the song were planted one day
when I saw an article in a London paper about a man who had committed suicide.
Four lines in the paper.
And I thought, that's a very bad way to go out.
Bad eulogy.
Four lines.
[E] It's called The Most Peculiar Man.
[D]
[Em] [D]
[G] He was [D] the most peculiar man.
[Em] That's what Mrs.
Reardon says she should know.
[A]
She lived [D] upstairs from him.
[G] She said he [A] was the most [D] peculiar man.
He was [A] the [D] most peculiar [D] man.
He [Em]
lived alone, within a house, within a room,
[A]
within [D] himself, [G]
[A] the most [D] peculiar man.
He had no friends.
He seldom spoke.
[Em] And no one in turn ever spoke to him,
cause he wasn't friendly and he didn't care.
[A]
