There Was A Man Chords by Pearls Before Swine

[Bb] _ _ _ _ _
There _ was [C] a man [Bb] came to [Eb] our town, _ he [F] wore a suit [Gm] of red, _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ He [C] memorized _ [Bb] with secret [Eb] _
eyes [Bb] that he [F] hid away in [Gm] his head. _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ He [Eb] _ had [F] a scar [Gm] upon _ his head, [Eb] where there used [Bb] to be [F] a crowd,
_ _ [Bb] But he sold [C] his _ [Bb] robes at the five [Eb] and ten, [Bb] and he lived on [F] the [Gm] edge of town.
_ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] That fall [C] he showed us a [Bb] _
magic [Eb] leaf, _ that he [F] could change [Gm] to snow.
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _
He bought [C] it partly [Bb] _
with [Eb] his grief [Bb] and partly [F] with [Gm] his soul.
_ He _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] scattered _ [F] _ seeds in [Bb] the _
[Gm] _ _ alleyways, [Eb] he never [Bb] seemed [F] to rest.
_ _ _ [Bb] And when you [C] went [Bb] to ask him [Eb] why all [Bb] he ever _ [F] said _ [Gm] was yes.
_ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] He made [Cm] a swan [Bb] from waving [Eb] grass _ _ beside [F] a crystal _ [Gm] shore,
_ _ _ [Bb] And a [C] sunrise spun [Bb] from broken [Eb] _ glass [Bb] and many [F] things _ [Gm] wondrous more.
_ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] But then [F] his hands [Bb] began _ [Gm] to burn [Eb] when he heard [Bb] the news [F] from the war.
_ _ _ [Bb] When we cannot [C] _ find [Bb] each other he [Eb] said, then [Bb] we can't [F] run away _ [Gm] anymore.
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] Next day [C] with tears [Bb] along [Eb] his face he passed [F] us on [Gm] the hill.
_ _ _ [Bb] _
No [C] one thought [Bb] to ask him [Eb] to stay and [Bb] he knows [F] that we [Gm] never will.
