VERSE 1::
 G+G          D MajorD
A augmentedA long time ago, in 1965 or so
    A minorAm            E minorEm
I met a man with a face, it was a real disgrace
G+G                 D MajorD
Pictures he took and put them in a little book
   A minorAm               D MajorD
So ambitious was he, he even took a picture of me

G+G              D MajorD
Then one day, he opened up a studio (start recording now)
      A minorAm           E minorEm
He tried to make it pay, making hit records, you know
    G+G              D MajorD

     A minorAm             D MajorD
