Old Man Bryan MacLean
Intro: D Dsus4
Verse 1: [D]I once knew [Dsus4]a man
[Em] been every[A]where in the [F]world.
Gave me a tiny [Em]ivory ball
[F#m] Said it would [B]bring me [G]good.
[Cm] Never believed it [G]would un[Bm]til
I have been [C]loving you.[Bbsus2]
Verse 2: [D]Dear old ma[Dsus4]n
[Em] he'd seen most[A] every[F]thing.
Gave me a piece of [Em]good advice.
[F#m] Said it would [B]do me [G]well.
[Cm] I couldn't really [G]tell un[Bm]til
I have been [C]loving you.[Bbsus2]
Bridge: [Asus2]Now it seems
things are very strange
I can see more clearly
Suddenly I see my [G]way.
I know the old man would [F#m]laugh.
He spoke of [B]love's sweeter [G]days
[Em] and in his [A]eloquent wa[F]y
[Bbm] I think he was speaking of[F] you.
[Am] You are so lovely,
You didn't have to say a [D]thing;
Verse 3: [D]But I remember that old man
[Em] Telling me [A]he'd seen the [F]light.
Gave me a small brown [Em]leather book.
[F#m] Insisted [B]that he was[G] right.
[Cm] I only heard him [G]slightly[Bm]
'til I [Cm]heard you w[G]hisper.
[C] Took you [Bm]up all [Cm]in my [G]arms.[Bm] [Bbsus2]
Coda: [D]Dear old[Dsus4] man,[D] [Dsus4]
[D]fine old[Dsus4] man,[D] [Dsus4]
