INTRO
F G C Am F G C
F
Well I spoke to this man,
G C
Said he’d been to the moon,
Am F
Carved his name in the ground,
G
Saw the world spinning round,
C
And came back that afternoon.
F
And I laughed at this man,
G C
Said he’d been lost at sea,
Am F
Heard the sirens call,
G
Seen the pirates fall,
C
To the monsters in the deep.
F
I said I’d heard some tall tales,
G C
Some good stories in my time,
Am F
When I asked him for proof,
G
He just showed me the truth,
C
That was dancing in his eyes.
I could not believe this man,
Said he was a millionaire,
He said I know I dress in rags,
But I drive a vintage Jag,
And I’ve got a diamond chandelier.
I said I think I need a drink,
And made my way outside,
You know I’d swear this was a spoof,
If it wasn’t for the truth,
That was dancing in his eyes.
F G C Am F G C X2
When I came back in the room,
The man had disappeared,
He left a rock from the moon,
And eyepatch and a diamond,
From a chandelier.
That's it, enjoy! ;)
