Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][F][G][C][G][D][G]
[D][G]

[Verse 1]
Years ago, I knew a [G]man,
He was my [D]mother's biggest [G]fan
[Bb]We used to walk beside[F] the sea[Bb]
And he told me how [F]life would [Bb]be
When I grew up to [F]be [Bb]a man[D]

[Verse 2]
[G]And years ago, we use[D]d to pla[G]y[D][G]
He used to [D]laugh when I ran [G]away
[Bb]And if I fell and hurt[F] my knee[Bb]
He would [F]run to comfort [Bb]me
And the pain would [F]go away

[Interlude 1]
[Bb][D][G][C][F]
[D][G][C][F][D][G][C][F][D][G][D][G]
Years ago, I [D]knew a boy

[Verse 3]
[G][D][G]
He was his [D]daddy's pride and [G]joy,
pride and joy
[Bb]But when the daddy went [F]away[Bb]
[F]It was such a rainy [Bb]day
That he brought out [F]all his [Bb]toys[D][G]
And how the mother did [D]ex

[Verse 4]
[G]plain[D]
[G]Trying to tak[D]e away the pai[G]n
[Bb]But, he just couldn't unders[F]tand[Bb]
That his father was [F]not [Bb]a man
And it all was [F]just a [Bb]game[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]The years have pas[D]sed
and so [G]have [D]I[G]
Making it [D]hard for me [G]to cry
[Bb]And if and when I have[F] a son[Bb]
Let it all [F]be said an[Bb]d done
Let the sadness [F]pass him [Bb]by[G]

[Outro 1]
[C][F][D][G][C][F][D][G][C][F][D][G][D][G][D]
[G][C][F][D][G][C][F][D][G][C][F][D][G][D][G]
