[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

        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
