[Intro] C Am F G7 C Am F G C Am F G7 C Am Fadd9 [Verse]
C            Am   F      G7 
The greatest man I never knew

C          Am           F
Lived just down the hall

C        Am        F     G7
And everyday we said hello

C         Am            F    G
But never touched at all

Am              Em
He was in his paper

F           Esus E 
I was in my room

F                                   G7       C
How was I to know he thought I hung the moon
[Verse]
C            Am   F      G7
The greatest man I never knew

C         Am              F
Came home late every night

C        Am          F      G7
He never had too much to say 

C            Am         F   G
Too much was on his mind

Am                  Em
I never really knew him

      F                Esus E
Oh and now it seems so sad

F                                 G7     C
Everything he gave to us took all he had
[Bridge]
Em            F  
Then the days turned into years

        C               G         C  Em
And the memories to black and white

Em                      F
He grew cold like an old winter wind

C                     Gsus G7
Blowing across my life
[Verse]
C            Am     F          G7
The greatest words I never heard

C            Am        F     
I guess I'll never hear

C           Am            F     G7
The man I thought would never die

C             Am          F    G
Has been dead almost a year

Am                     Em
oH, He was good in business

              F                Esus E
But there was business left to do

F                 
He never said he loved me

         F       G C        
Guess he thought I knew
