Okay, here's some drama.
We'll touch right back to 1917.
This is a song I'm very proud to have written.
It's been covered no end of times.
And I guess at the time it was sort of a signature song for me.
This is called Man Who Sold The World.

[C] [D] Passed upon [A] the stairs
We spoke of what and where
[Dm] Although I was [A] not there
He said I was his [F] man
Which came as some [C] surprise
I spoke and dug [A] his eyes
And thought you'd die [Dm] for love
But no, not time [D] ago
[C] Oh no, [F] not me
I [C#]
never lost [G] control
[C] Your past [F] took flight
[C#] With the man who sold [A] the world
[D]
[F] [C] [F]
[D] I loved and shook [A] his hand
Made my way back [Dm] home
Not such a mournful [A] man
For years and years I [F] know
I gazed, I [C] gazed, he said
And all who knew [A] him
We must have died [D] in love
[Dm] A long, long time [C]
ago
Who knows, [F] not me
[A#m] We never lost [F] control
