Intro: DGDA X 2

D (xx0232@1)             GA (320003@1)long time ago there lived a man 
D (xx0232@1)                     AHe (x02220@1)had the world in the palm of his hand 
G (320003@1)                      ASultans (x02220@1)and kings beat a path to his door 
G (320003@1)                      AHe (x02220@1)had everything but he still wanted more 
D (xx0232@1)                      GOne (320003@1)day in spring came a lady so fair 
D (xx0232@1)                    AHe'd (x02220@1)never looked on a beauty so rare 
G (320003@1)                           ABut (x02220@1)he didn't trust her so he locked her away 
G (320003@1)                               AAnd (x02220@1)his gold lost its luster when love died that day

CHORUS:

G (320003@1)       D (xx0232@1)          C (x32010@1)         GOne (320003@1)false move and you know you're busted 
G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1)      G (320003@1)      AOnce (x02220@1)you love you care

D (xx0232@1)                   GI (320003@1)knew an old man who lived all alone 
     D (xx0232@1)                     AIn (x02220@1)a sad Iittle house at the end of the road 
   G (320003@1)                          AHe (x02220@1)sat on his front porch in an old rocking chair 
    G (320003@1)                      AAnd (x02220@1)everyone swore he'd gone crazy down there 
    D (xx0232@1)                  GBut (320003@1)no one comes near so how could they know 
   D (xx0232@1)                      AHe (x02220@1)lost someone dear to him once long ago 
   G (320003@1)                         AHe (x02220@1)remembers the laughter and  still tastes the tears 
       G (320003@1)                            AAnd (x02220@1)he still calls her name out after all of these years
