Chords for Eden Ahbez + Cole & Boone Live - Nature Boy

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Composer of the nation's number one song hit, Nature Boy, is named as Ethan Abbey,
and he's bringing his [G] bicycle onto our Gulf Oil stage [Gm] right now.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
[G] Abbey, how did you happen to write [Am] Nature Boy?
[D] Dwight, Nature Boy is really the story [A] of my life.
I was [G] born with a love for nature and a [Em] desire to find [Gm] God.
Finally I came to look upon nature as a great symphony,
and [Gb] upon love as the [F] theme of that symphony.
Here comes [D] a song I wish I'd recorded [A] first.
Well, why don't you take a chance at it?
I don't know, it's [Bb] your song.
[A] Well, this happens to be your show.
[Dm] _ You've got a point there.
[A] _ _ _ There was a [Em] man _ _ _ _ named [Dm] Ethan Abbey.
_ [E] _ _ [A] They say he [Bb] wandered very far, [Dm] _ [G] very far _ [Em] _ over [Dm] _
land [Bb] and sea.
Mind if I cut in?
[Em] _
A little [Bb] shy _ _ [A] _ _
and [B] sad of eye, [Bb] _ _
[Bb] _ [E] _ but very _ wise _ was _ [A] he.
[C] And here I come, [Dm] kick the high notes.
And then one [E] day, _ [Am] that [G] magic day [Dm] he passed my [Em] way.
_ _ [A] _ And while we [D] spoke of many _ things, _ [C] fools [G] and kings, _ _ [Gm] this he [Dm] _
said [Bb] to me. _ _ _ _
[Em] _ [A] What is the greatest [D] thing _ [A] _
_ _ you'll [E] ever [Dm] learn? _
_ _ [B] _ _ [E] Is just to _ [A] love _ _ and be _ _ loved _ in [G] _ _ _ [D] return. _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ What about the future?
The business changing by the minute, he said to me.
_ _ _ You've got to please the [D] public [Dm] for just as long as you are in it.
Well, I'm getting there.
_ _ Well, let's give them what they're [D] buying.
[Bb] There ain't no use [D] to fight us in [Bb] it.
None at [Eb] all.
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
You come along like a _ _ [Bbm] _
[Eb] rose, but everybody knows. _ _
_ [Gm] She'll get you in dust.
_ [Bbm] _
[Eb] And you can eat, but you better not touch her.
A boy that [D] _ age. _ _ _
