[Verse 1]
[Em]Oh, [C]dear Rumi[Em]
My little baby, [C]I love you
[G]You move me, my [D]son
You im[Am]prove me
'Cause you're the [B]one

[Am][G][B][Em][C][Em][C]

[Verse 2]
[G]The wisdom of the wor[Gm]d,
the [G]source of [D]all of creation
[Am]Ecstasy of devotion in
[B]the sound of every action
[E]Striving[Em] to hear and see all[C] life,
an anomaly
[Em]Never lose thy wonder,
the neces[C]sity of mystery
[G]Be drunk with passion and
[D]the peaceful rivers of love
[Am]Close both your eyes and hear
the dis[B]tant flight [E]of doves
[Em]When [E]you're grown up [Em]in your prime

[Verse 3]
[C]
Stay away from God and crime
[Am]Embody justice for this tormenti[D]ng,
[B]tormented [Em]world
You will learn something every day
[C]Don't dip your toes, go all the[Am] way
Be the change you wanna [G]see and be
[B]the man you want to be
[E][Em][C][Am]

[Verse 4]
[B]
Oh, dear [E]Rumi, [Em]the supreme poet [C]of love
You [Am]move me like [B]the sun
[G]Become the truth and[D] hold it above all
[Am]Get lost in the breeze of the trees
[B]that stand [G]tall
Don't you realize that it's all
about [D]knowledge and love?
[Am]Close both your eyes and hear the
[B]distant flight of doves

[Verse 5]
[E]
When you're grown up [Em]in your p[C]rime
Stay away from God and [Am]crime
Embody justice for this [D]tormenting,
[B]tormented [E]world[Em]
You [E]will learn something [Em]every [C]day
Don't dip your toes, go all [Am]the way
Be the change you wanna [G]see and
be the [B]man [D]you [B]wan[F#m]na be[E]
The man you want to be
[D][C#]

[Verse 6]
Dear [F#m]son, I pray that your d[E]ays are long
And your [D]path matches your [C#]song
Your [F#m]smile is worth every
sac[E]rifice in this life
Your [D]breath now my reason to [C#]go on
I [F#m]love you more than I e[E]ver could imagine
For [D]anything on [C#]this [E]earth
[Em]When you're grown

[Verse 7]
up in your [C]prime
Stay away from God and [Am]crime
Embody justice for this tor[D]menting,
[B]tormented [E]world[Em]
You will learn something every [C]day
Don't dip your toes,

[Interlude 2]
go all the way
[Am][G][B][E]

[Verse 8]
When you're [E]grown up in [Em]your [C]prime
Stay away from God and [Am]crime
Embody justice for this [B]tormenting,
tormented [E]world
You will learn something [Em]every [C]day
Don't dip your toes, go all the [Am]way
Be the change you wanna
[B]see and be the ma
And be the man and be
the man you want to be
[E]
