The Greatest Man I Never Knew Reba McEntire
The Greatest Man I Never Knew
intro: C Am F G7 C Am F GC Am F G7 C Am F+9
[C]The greatest [Am]man I[F] never [G7]knew
[C]Lived just [Am]down the hall[F]
[C]And every[Am]day we sai[F]d hell[G7]o
[C]But never [Am]touched at all[F] [G]
[Am]He was in his pa[Em]per
[F]I was in my [Esus4]room[E]
[F]How was I to know he thought I hung [G7]the moon[C]
[C]The greatest [Am]man I[F] never [G7]knew
[C]Came home [Am]late every night[F]
[C]He never [Am]had too much[F] to say[G7]
[C]Too much was [Am]on his mind[F] [G]
[Am]I never really knew [Em]him
Oh and[F] now it seems so [Esus4]sad[E]
[F]Everything he gave to us took all [G7]he had[C]
[Em]Then the days [F]turned into years
And the [C]memories to blac[G]k and whit[C]e[Em]
[Em]He grew cold like an old[F] winter wind
[C]Blowing across my life[Gsus4] [G7]
[C]The greatest [Am]words I[F] never hear[G7]d
[C]I guess I'll [Am]never hear[F]
[C]The man I th[Am]ought would ne[F]ver di[G7]e
[C]Has been dead [Am]almost a yea[F]r[G]
[Am]oH, He was good in busi[Em]ness
But there was [F]business left to [Esus4]do[E]
[F]He never said he loved me
Guess he [F]thought [G]I [C]knew
