YOU HAVE TO DO THIS WHEN HE SINGS
HERE ARE THE LYRICS

Am, C, G, Am x2

[Am]   Twas a m[C]an of y[G]outhful [Am]features

[Am]   Twas a b[C]oy of s[G]orrowful [Am]eyes
[Am]   Watching [C]out by l[G]ooking i[Am]nward
[Am]   Tall and [C]stately and [G]full of [Am]life
Am, C, G, Am

[Am]   In his [C]life he [G]spoke but [Am]rarely

[Am]   In his [C]mind he [G]cried for [Am]light
[Am]   Painting per[C]ceptions [G]trying to [Am]capture
[Am]   That which he [C]saw in his q[G]uestioning s[Am]trife
Am, C, G, Am

[Am]   Once in L[C]isbon t[G]wice in L[Am]ondon

[Am]   Travelling [C]around for [G]all of his [Am]time
[Am]   Looking f[C]or and f[G]inding a g[Am]oddess
[Am]   He took [C]Diana to [G]be his [Am]wife
Am, C, G, Am

[Am]   Of the chi[C]ldren t[G]hey'd be[Am]gotten

[Am]   Two had d[C]ied w[G]ithout knowing [Am]life
[Am]   And the [C]third I [G]know not wh[Am]ereof
[Am]   But if she[C] lives, she will [G]yet be k[Am]ind
Am, C. G. Am

   [Am]Casey had a [C]mark of [G]simple v[Am]alue

[Am]   He had a s[C]tar betwe[G]en his e[Am]yes
[Am]   In his h[C]and he h[G]eld an axe[Am] balde
[Am]   The greek [C]symbol of t[G]hunder and f[Am]ire
Am, C, G, Am

[Am]   On a n[C]ight when the [G]heavens were c[Am]rying

[Am]   He went [C]out and t[G]ook his bl[Am]ade
[Am]   Chopping [C]wood to [G]warm his hear[Am]tside
[Am]   The lightning [C]came and my [G]brother d[Am]ied
Am, C, G, Am

[Am]   Bring him no [C]wine from f[G]araway viney[Am]ards

[Am]   Tell him no [C]tales of the [G]canyon's mig[Am]ht
[Am]   But wish him [C]peace and [G]eternal wisd[Am]om
[Am]   For he has [C]died and he [G]died in lig[Am]ht
O.K.
NOW HE FINISHED HIS SINGING AND IT FINISHES LIKE THIS
IT GOES LIKE THIS FOR A LITTLE WHILE
