capo 2nd
           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
