          Em          A            F
            been everywhere in the world.
                           Em
            Gave me a tiny ivory ball
          F#m             B        G
            Said it would bring me good.
          Cm                  G       Bm
            Never believed it would until

Verse 2:    Dear old man
          Em              A     F
            he'd seen most everything.
                               Em
            Gave me a piece of good advice.

            I have been loving you.

Bridge:     Now it seems

            things are very strange

            I can see more clearly
                              G
            Suddenly I see my way.
                                     F#m
            I know the old man would laugh.
                        B              G
            He spoke of love's sweeter days
          Em           A          F
            and in his eloquent way
          Bbm                         F
            I think he was speaking of you.
          Am
            You are so lovely,
                                     D
            You didn't have to say a thing;

Verse 3:    But I remember that old man
          Em           A             F
            Telling me he'd seen the light.
                                  Em
            Gave me a small brown leather book.
          F#m        B          G
            Insisted that he was right.
          Cm                 G         Bm
            I only heard him slightly
                   Cm         G
            'til I heard you whisper.
          C          Bm     Cm    G    Bm   Bbsus2
            Took you up all in my arms.
