Dm                                      Bb 
    He had a thousand ideas,      You might have heard his name 
F                                           C                              G5 
   He lived alone with his vision,   Not looking for fortune and fame 
Dm                                          Bb 
Never said too much to speak of      He was off on another plane 
F                                                        C                G5 
The words that he said were a mystery  Nobody's sure he was sane 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chorus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
             Dm         F                     G                Dm 
But he knew   He knew more than me or you 
F                     G           Dm       Bb                C     G5 
No one could see his view       Where was he going to 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ verse 2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
Dm                                          Bb 
He was in search of an answer       The nature of what we are 
F                                                      C                         G5 
   He was trying to do it a new way        He was bright as a star 
Dm                                        Bb 
   But nobody understood him     'His numbers are not the way' 
F                                               C                         G5 
He's lost in the deepest enigma     Which no one's unraveled today 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chorus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
             Dm         F                     G                Dm 
But he knew   He knew more than me or you 
F                     G           Dm          Bb                C     G5 
No one could see his view       Oh Where was he going to 
            Dm         F                     G                Dm 
And he tried   But before he could tell us he died 
F                     G                Dm       Bb                C      G5 
When he left us the people cried   Oh, where was he going to 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Solo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ verse 3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
Dm                              Bb 
He had a different idea        A glimpse of the master plan 
F                                         C                         G5 
He could see into the future      A true visionary man 
Dm                                                   Bb 
But there's something he never told us  It died when he went away 
F                                                  C                         G5 
If only he could have been with us   No telling what he might say 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chorus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
             Dm         F                     G                Dm 
But he knew   He knew more than me or you 
F                     G           Dm          Bb                C     G5 
No one could see his view       Oh Where was he going to 
           Dm         F                     G                Dm 
But he knew  You could tell by the picture he drew 
F                     G           Dm          Bb                C     G5 
It was totally something new   Oh, where was he going to
