The Greatest Man I Never Knew
intro: c Am F G7 c Am F GC Am F G7 c Am F+9
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
