[Verse]
                        Bb                       F   
He had a thousand ideas you might have heard his name
         F                    
He lived alone with his vision
                G              
Not looking for fortune or fame
D7         Dm                  
Never said too much to speak of
Bb                    F    
He was off on another plane
                              C      
The words that he said were a mystery
C7                   C   
Nobody's sure he was sane
       D7      F              G     D  
But he knew he knew more than me or you
F            G       D    Bb                 G  C
No one could see his view where was he going to ■


[Chorus]
D           Dm           Bb    
■ He was in search of an answer
              Bb         
The nature of what we are
F                            C  
He was trying to do it a new way
       G           C    Dm
He was bright as a star ■ 
                      Bb 
But nobody understood him
                        F  
His numbers are not the way
                         C     
He's lost in the deepest enigma
               G              
Which no one's unraveled today
       D       F              G     D  
But he knew he knew more than me or you
F            G       D       Bb           G       
No one could see his view oh where was he going to
       D         F                          D   
And he tried but before he could tell us he died
        F                  D    
When he left us the people cried
Bb                 G 
Where was he going to

[Chorus]
Dm                    Bb  
Oh He had a different idea
                        F   
A glimpse of the master plan
                      C     
He could see into the future
       G         D  
A true visionary man
Dm                                  Bb
But there's something he never told us
                     F   
It died when he went away
   F                              
If only he could have been with us
C               G           
No telling what he might say
       D       F                    D   Dm
But he knew he knew more than me or you ■ 
F                    Dm  
No one could see his view
Bb                 G 
Where was he going to
       Dm             F           G          D   
But he knew you could tell by the picture he drew
       F                 D  
It was totally something new
   Bb           G       
Oh where was he going to
G  
Oow
