D
I sailed a wild, wild sea
Em
climbed up a tall, tall mountain
D
I met a old, old man
A
beneath a weeping willow tree
D
He said now if you got some questions
Em
go and lay them at my feet
D
but my time here is brief
A
so you'll have to pick just three
And I said
D Gmaj7
What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart?
Gmaj7
and how can a man like me remain in the light?
D D7
and if life is really as short as they say
G Gm
then why is the night so long
A
and then the sun went down
A - let ring - D
and he sang for me this song
D Em
See I once was a young fool like you
D
afraid to do the things
A
that I knew I had to do
A
So I played an escapade just like you
Em A
I played an escapade just like you
D
I sailed a wild, wild sea
Em
climbed up a tall, tall mountain
D
I met an old, old man
A
he sat beneath a sapling tree
D
He said now if you got some questions
Em
go and lay them at my feet
D
but my time here is brief
A
so you'll have to pick just three
And I said
D Gmaj7
What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart?
Gmaj7
and how can a man like me remain in the light?
D D7
and if life is really as short as they say
G Gm
then why is the night so long?
A
and then the sun went down
A - let ring - D
and he played for me this song
- Solo -
