I _ _ knew a [C] man who [Eb] lived in a desert [B] way
_ [E] _
Listened _ to winds [Eb] and ate only bugs [Ab] every day
[E] _ _ _ _
Nutty old [C] man, he would [Eb] by the hour there over there in [Bb] his [E] hair
_ _ Sat in [C] a cell [Eb] and slept in a [Ab] well they _ say
[D] _
_ [E] _ [F] _ _ _ [Eb] _ [F] _ _
[Bb] I heard tell them
_ This [E] brother [F] carried a jagged stone in [Bb] his mouth for three years
Until he learned to be [B] silent
[E] _
Living _ and [C] [Eb] dreaming he had an expanding _ [Bb] mind
[E] _ _ _
Put on a scroll [Eb] every bit of it he [C] can [B] find
_ [Db] Once [C] _ _ _ [Eb] _

[F] What _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [Cm] _ [Eb] more must I [Abm] do?
_ _ _ [Em] He all alone [Eb] stretched out his hand
His [Abm] fingers became like ten [Am] lamps of glaze
[F] _ [Cm] He [Eb] said, why not [Db] be totally changed to the fire?

[E] _
