[Verse 1]
        D
        I once knew a man

        Em          A          F
        Been everywhere in the world

                       Em
        Gave me a tiny ivory ball

        F#m           B        G
        Said it would bring me good

        Cm                G       Bm
        Never believed it would until

                    C          Bbsus2
        I have been loving you
[Verse 2]
        D
        Dear old man

        Em             A    F
        He'd seen most everything

                           Em
        Gave me a piece of good advice

        F#m           B     G
        Said it would do me well

        Cm                G       Bm
        I couldn't really tell until

                    C
        I have been loving you
[Bridge]

        Now it seems
Things are not so strange I can see more clearly
                               G
        Suddenly I've found my way

                                 F#m
        I know the old man would laugh

                    B              G/F#
        He spoke of love's sweeter days

        Em         A        F
        And in his eloquent way

        Bbm                        F
        I think he was speaking of you

        Am
        You are so lovely

                                 D
        You didn't have to say a thing
[Verse 3]
                D
        But I remember that old man

        Em         A         F
        Telling me he'd seen the light

                              Em
        Gave me a small brown leather book

        F#m           B      G
        Insisted that he was right

        Cm               G
        I only heard him slightly

        Bm         Cm         G
           'Til I heard you whisper

        C           Bm     Cm     G    Bm  Bbsus2
           Took you up all in my arms
[Outro]
        D            Dsus4   D   Dsus4
        Dear old man

        D            Dsus4   D   Dsus4
        Wise old man

        D            Dsus4   D   Dsus4
        Fine old man, now
