Dm
On a hill, inside a house in Covewell Reach

Dm                              C
Stands a man who's feeling very tired

F                               E
Looking at a song he wrote some time ago

Am                              G
Could have made it big inside a Broadway show
VERSE
Dm
Every day I go away and find ideas

Dm                                   C
Think I'll climb on top of somewhere high

F                               E
Couldn't I write a song about a man who's dead?

Am                           G
Didn't really know if he was off his head
CHORUS
G         E      Am                F#
Ev'rybody knows, that's the way it goes

    G               E
Too bad for Gilbert Green

    C               A                 Dm
Now we can tell the world that he was right
INTERLUDE | Dm | % | VERSE
Dm
Sitting in his attic on a sunny day

Dm                             C
Mending fifty goblets that are worn

F                            E
Humming to himself a song of yesteryear

    Am                          G
His hearing wasn't good but his eyes were clear
CHORUS
G         E      Am                F#
Ev'rybody knows, that's the way it goes

    G               E
Too bad for Gilbert Green

    C               A                 Dm
Now we can tell the world that he was right
INTERLUDE | Dm | % | VERSE
Dm
Now the house is burnt, along with Gilbert Green

Dm                               C
Sad to see his sisters stand and cry

    F                                E
And in the basement lies a song that wasn't seen

Am                                 G
Tells the tale of laughing men and yellow beans
CHORUS
G         E      Am                F#
Ev'rybody knows, that's the way it goes

    G               E
Too bad for Gilbert Green

    C               A                 D5
Now we can tell the world that he was right
