Dm                                      Bb
    He had a thousand ideas,      You might have heard his name

F                                           C                              G5
   He lived alone with his vision,   Not looking for fortune and fame

Dm                                          Bb
Never said too much to speak of      He was off on another plane

F                                                        C                G5
The words that he said were a mystery  Nobody's sure he was sane
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chorus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
             Dm         F                     G                Dm
But he knew   He knew more than me or you

F                     G           Dm       Bb                C     G5
No one could see his view       Where was he going to
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Verse 2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dm                                          Bb
He was in search of an answer       The nature of what we are

F                                                      C                         G5
   He was trying to do it a new way        He was bright as a star

Dm                                        Bb
   But nobody understood him     "His numbers are not the way"

F                                               C                         G5
He's lost in the deepest enigma     Which no one's unraveled today
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chorus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
             Dm         F                     G                Dm
But he knew   He knew more than me or you

F                     G           Dm          Bb                C     G5
No one could see his view       Oh Where was he going to

            Dm         F                     G                Dm
And he tried   But before he could tell us he died

F                     G                Dm       Bb                C      G5
When he left us the people cried   Oh, where was he going to

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Verse 3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dm                              Bb
He had a different idea        A glimpse of the master plan

F                                         C                         G5
He could see into the future      A true visionary man

Dm                                                   Bb
But there's something he never told us  It died when he went away

F                                                  C                         G5
If only he could have been with us   No telling what he might say
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chorus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
             Dm         F                     G                Dm
But he knew   He knew more than me or you

F                     G           Dm          Bb                C     G5
No one could see his view       Oh Where was he going to

           Dm         F                     G                Dm
But he knew  You could tell by the picture he drew

F                     G           Dm          Bb                C     G5
It was totally something new   Oh, where was he going to
