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 [x13311]
I have been loving you
Verse 2:
Dear old man
He'd seen most everything
Gave me a piece of good advice
Said it would do me well
I couldn't really tell until
I have been loving you
Bridge:
Asus2 [x02200]
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:
But I remember that old man
Telling me he'd seen the light
Gave me a small brown leather book
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
Coda:
D Dsus4 D Dsus4
Dear old man
D Dsus4 D Dsus4
Wise old man
D Dsus4 D Dsus4
Fine old man, now

-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official LOVE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
