[Am7] I heard he sa[D]ng a good song
[G] I heard he ha[C]d a style
[Am7] and so I ca[D]me to see him
to li[Em]sten for a while.
[Am7] And there he wa[D7]s this young boy
[G] a stranger t[B7]o my eyes.

[Am7] I felt all flu[D]shed with fever
[Gmaj7] embarrassed b[C]y the crowd.
[Am7] I felt he fo[D]und my letters
and re[Em]ad each one out loud.
[Am7] I prayed that h[D7]e would finish
[Gmaj7] but he just ke[B7]pt right on.

[Am7] He sang as i[D]f he knew me
[Gmaj7] in all my d[C]ark despair.
[Am7] And then he lo[D]oked right through me
as if [Em]I wasn't there.
[Am7]   And he just kept on singing
[Gmaj7] singing cle[B7]ar and strong.
