VERSE 
Dm 
On a hill, inside a house in Covewell Reach 
Dm                              C 
Stands a man who's feeling very tired 
F                               E 
Looking at a song he wrote some time ago 
Am                              G 
Could have made it big inside a Broadway show 


VERSE 
Dm 
Every day I go away and find ideas 
Dm                                   C 
Think I'll climb on top of somewhere high 
F                               E 
Couldn't I write a song about a man who's dead? 
Am                           G 
Didn't really know if he was off his head 



G E Am F# Ev'rybody knows, that's the way it goes G E Too bad for Gilbert Green C A Dm Now we can tell the world that he was right
INTERLUDE | Dm | % | VERSE Dm Sitting in his attic on a sunny day Dm C Mending fifty goblets that are worn F E Humming to himself a song of yesteryear Am G His hearing wasn't good but his eyes were clear
G E Am F# Ev'rybody knows, that's the way it goes G E Too bad for Gilbert Green C A Dm Now we can tell the world that he was right
INTERLUDE | Dm | % | VERSE Dm Now the house is burnt, along with Gilbert Green Dm C Sad to see his sisters stand and cry F E And in the basement lies a song that wasn't seen Am G Tells the tale of laughing men and yellow beans
G E Am F# Ev'rybody knows, that's the way it goes G E Too bad for Gilbert Green C A D5 Now we can tell the world that he was right
