[D]
I once knew a man, [Em] been everywhere [F] in the world,
Gave me a [Em] tiny ivory ball, [F#m] said [B] it would bring [G] me good,
[Cm] Never believed [G] it would [Bm] until I had [C] been loving you.
[F]
[D] Dear old man, [Em] he'd [A] seen most [F] everything,
Gave me a piece [Em] of good advice, [C#] said [B] it would do [G] me well,
I [Cm] couldn't really [G] tell [Bm] until I had [C] been loving you.
[A#]
[E] Now it seems things are not so strange, I can see more clearly,
Suddenly I found my [G] way.
I know the old man would [F#m] laugh,
He spoke [B] of love's sweeter [G] days, [E] and in [A] his eloquent [F] way,
I [A#m] think he was speaking [F] of you.
[Am] You are so lovely,
You didn't have to say [D] a thing, but I remember that old man,
[Em] [A] Telling me he'd [F] seen the light, gave me a small [Em] brown leather book,
[F#m] [B] Insisted that he [G] was right, [Cm] I only heard [G] him slightly,
[Bm]
Till [Cm] I heard you [G] speak, [C] took [Bm] you a [Cm] fall in [G] my
[Bm] arms.
[A#]
[D] Dear old man, wise old man, fine old man now,
[A]
