                                           Kansas
Intro:      D    F/D  |   G/D      Bb/D   |    C/D     Em/D  |

   F/D    Em/D  |  D     F/D  | G/D    Bb/D  | C/D    Em/D   F/D

    Em/D   D   C/D  | A    Cmaj7   Bm   E5   F#m7    E      F#m7

 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
