c            Am   F      G7 
The greatest man I never knew
c          Am           F
Lived just down the hall
c        Am        F     G7
And everyday we said hello
c         Am            F    G
But never touched at all
Am              Em
He was in his paper
F           Esus E 
I was in my room
F                                   G7       c
How was I to know he thought I hung the moon


c            Am   F      G7
The greatest man I never knew
c         Am              F
Came home late every night
c        Am          F      G7
He never had too much to say 
c            Am         F   G
Too much was on his mind
Am                  Em
I never really knew him
      F                Esus E
Oh and now it seems so sad
F                                 G7     c
Everything he gave to us took all he had

Em            F  
Then the days turned into years
        c               G         c  Em
And the memories to black and white
Em                      F
He grew cold like an old winter wind
c                     GsuS G7
Blowing across my life

c            Am     F          G7
The greatest words I never heard
c            Am        F     
I guess I'll never hear
c           Am            F     G7
The man I thought would never die
c             Am          F    G
Has been dead almost a year
Am                     Em
oH, He was good in business
              F                Esus E
But there was business left to do
F                 
He never said he loved me
         F       G c        
Guess he thought I knew
