"Old Man"
(Bryan Maclean)
Intro: D Dsus4 [8X; bass enters 3rd time]
/ / / /
Verse 1:
I once knew a man
Been everywhere in the world
Gave me a tiny ivory ball
Said it would bring me good
Never believed it would until
[x13311]
I have been loving you
Verse 2:
Dear old man
He'd seen most everything
Gave me a piece of good advice
Said it would do me well
I couldn't really tell until
I have been loving you
Bridge:
[x02200]
Now it seems
Things are not so strange
I can see more clearly
Suddenly I've found my way
I know the old man would laugh
/
He spoke of love's sweeter days
And in his eloquent way
I think he was speaking of you
You are so lovely
You didn't have to say a thing
Verse 3:
But I remember that old man
Telling me he'd seen the light
Gave me a small brown leather book
Insisted that he was right
I only heard him slightly
'Til I heard you whisper
Took you up all in my arms
Coda:
Dear old man
Wise old man
Fine old man, now
