capo 2nd
      C
I sailed a wild, wild sea
       F
climbed up a tall, tall mountain
    C
I met a old, old man
     G
beneath a weeping willow tree
      C
He said now if you got some questions
    F
go and lay them at my feet
    C
but my time here is brief
     G
so you'll have to pick just three

And I said
C                     Fmaj7
What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart?
  C
and how can a man like me remain in the light?
    C         C7
and if life is really as short as they say
   F          Fm
then why is the night so long
       C
and then the sun went down
   G (let ring)   C
and he sang for me this song

   C             F
See I once was a young fool like you
 C
afraid to do the things
    G
that I knew I had to do
   G
So I played an escapade just like you
 Dm             G
I played an escapade just like you
      C
I sailed a wild, wild sea
       F
climbed up a tall, tall mountain
     C
I met an old, old man
     G
he sat beneath a sapling tree
      C
He said now if you got some questions
    F
go and lay them at my feet
    C
but my time here is brief
     G
so you'll have to pick just three

And I said
C                     Fmaj7
What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart?
  C
and how can a man like me remain in the light?
    C         C7
and if life is really as short as they say
   F          Fm
then why is the night so long?
       C
and then the sun went down
   G (let ring)    C
and he played for me this song
