He Was Me, He Was You – The Bells
[Intro]
D A G D G D A
[Verse 1]
D A G D
Little man was hungry they saw him as a tramp
A G Em A
With a love note in his pocket, but no money for a stamp,
D A G D
He just sits there in the doorway and he sings his lonely song,
A G D
Mumbling the cold out of his hands,
A G D
Watching the shadows weave and dance,
A G A
Smiling, but in his eyes the chances are gone
[Chorus]
A7 D G Em A
He was me, He was you, maybe someone that you knew,
G Em A
There goes everybody's brother, what’s his name?
A7 D G Em A
Walk on by, Pay no mind, Heartbreaks happen all the time
Em G D
Ain't it cold enough today, so let it rain
[Verse 2]
D A G D
The painter tries to paint him, and the poet, he tries to see,
A G Em A
I think he had a castle, in the man he used to be,
D A G D
He just stuck to us a question, Can you tell me what you've learned?
A G D
"Nobody knows the truth," he said,
A G D
"Not till the book has all been read,
A G A
Follow the one you love instead of the road."
[Chorus]
A7 D G Em A
He was me, He was you, maybe someone that you knew,
G Em A
There goes everybody's brother, what’s his name?
A7 D G Em A
Walk on by, Pay no mind, Heartbreaks happen all the time
Em G D
Ain't it cold enough today, so let it rain
[Chorus]
A7 D G Em A
He was me, He was you, maybe someone that you knew,
G Em A
There goes everybody's brother, what’s his name?
A7 D G Em A
Walk on by, Pay no mind, Heartbreaks happen all the time
Em G D
Ain't it cold enough today, so let it rain
Em G D
Ain't it cold enough today, so let it rain
Em G D
Ain't it cold enough today, so let it rain
