E5    A5         D5  E5              A5         D5 
There was a boy,   a very strange enchanted boy. 
     E5       E5      A5   A5 A5  A5 
They say he wandered very far, very far,  
D5   A5       E5 
Over land and sea; 
  D5        E5   B5   A5        F5        D5    E5 
A little shy   and sad of eye, but very wise    was he. 
    A5           D5         E5     A5        D5 
And then one day,   a magic day he passed my way; 
     E5        E5      A5   A5    A5        A5 
And while we spoke of many things, fools and kings, 
D5      A5     E5 
This he said to me, 
     G5     D5         B5      A5   A5 
"The greatest thing you'll ev - er learn 
   B5    E5      B5      E5 E5   A5     E5 
Is just to love and  be  loved in  re - turn." 
 
(Instrumental Interlude - 1st 3 lines of second verse)

"The greatest thing you'll ev - er learn 
   B5    E5      B5      E5 E5   A5      
Is just to love and  be  loved in  re - turn."
