 Dm                     Bb
  He had a thousand ideas,   You might have heard his name

 F                       C                G5
  He lived alone with his vision,  Not looking for fortune and fame

 Dm                       Bb
Never said too much to speak of   He was off on another plane

 F                             C         G5
The words that he said were a mystery Nobody's sure he was sane

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chorus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
       Dm      F            G         Dm
But he knew  He knew more than me or you

 F            G       Dm     Bb          C    G5
No one could see his view    Where was he going to

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Verse 2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Dm                       Bb
He was in search of an answer    The nature of what we are

 F                            C              G5
  He was trying to do it a new way    He was bright as a star

 Dm                      Bb
  But nobody understood him   "His numbers are not the way"

 F                         C              G5
He's lost in the deepest enigma   Which no one's unraveled today

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chorus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
       Dm      F            G         Dm
But he knew  He knew more than me or you

 F            G       Dm       Bb          C    G5
No one could see his view    Oh Where was he going to

       Dm      F            G         Dm
And he tried  But before he could tell us he died

 F            G         Dm     Bb          C    G5
When he left us the people cried  Oh, where was he going to

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Solo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Verse 3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Dm                 Bb
He had a different idea    A glimpse of the master plan

 F                      C              G5
He could see into the future   A true visionary man

 Dm                           Bb
But there's something he never told us It died when he went away

 F                          C              G5
If only he could have been with us  No telling what he might say


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chorus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
       Dm      F            G         Dm
But he knew  He knew more than me or you

 F            G       Dm       Bb          C    G5
No one could see his view    Oh Where was he going to

      Dm      F            G         Dm
But he knew You could tell by the picture he drew

 F            G       Dm       Bb          C    G5
It was totally something new  Oh, where was he going to
