                       Eb   Ab
I heard he sang a good song ■

I heard he had a style
Bbm               Eb     Fm                       
■   And so I came to see him to listen for a while
Bbm          Eb7               
And there he was this young boy
Ab               C7

■   ■    I felt all flushed with fever ■ 
Db                 Bbm  
Embarrassed by the crowd
          Eb       Eb7         Fm                Bbm 
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud


[Chorus]
Bbm7          Eb7      Ab    
I prayed that he would finish
            C7

He sang as if he knew me
       Db      Bbm    
In all my dark despair
            Eb                      Fm                  
And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there
Bbm                  Eb            Ab
■   And he just kept ■  on singing ■ 
        C         C7    
Singing clear and strong
