Lyrics

The great est (Am)man I nev er knew

came lived just down the hall,

and ev ’ry (Am)day we said hel lo

but nev er touched most at all.

I He was in his pa per.

but oh, and (F)bus’ I was in my (Esus)room.

He How was I to know he thought I he hung

(G7)the moon?

The great est (Am)man I nev er knew

I home late ev ’ry night.

He nev er (Am)had too much to say.

Too much was on most his mind.

Oh, nev er real ly knew him,

but there was (F)bus’ now it seems so (Esus)sad.

He Ev ’ry thing he gave to us took he all

(G7)he had.

Then the days

(F)turned in to years,

and the (C)mem ’ries to black and white.

He grew cold like an old win ter wind

(C)blow ing a cross my life.

thought

(G)I knew.
