C
I sailed a wild, wild sea
F
climbed up a tall, tall mountain
C
I met a old, old man
G
beneath a weeping willow tree
C
He said now if you got some questions
F
go and lay them at my feet
C
but my time here is brief
G
so you'll have to pick just three
And I said
C Fmaj7
What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart?
C
and how can a man like me remain in the light?
C C7
and if life is really as short as they say
F Fm
then why is the night so long
C
and then the sun went down
G (let ring) C
and he sang for me this song
C F
See I once was a young fool like you
C
afraid to do the things
G
that I knew I had to do
G
So I played an escapade just like you
Dm G
I played an escapade just like you
C
I sailed a wild, wild sea
F
climbed up a tall, tall mountain
C
I met an old, old man
G
he sat beneath a sapling tree
C
He said now if you got some questions
F
go and lay them at my feet
C
but my time here is brief
G
so you'll have to pick just three
And I said
C Fmaj7
What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart?
C
and how can a man like me remain in the light?
C C7
and if life is really as short as they say
