There was a bo-o-o-y
Dm9 A7+5-9
A very strange, enchanted bo-o-o-y
Dm Dm(maj7)
They say he wandered very far
Dm7 Dm6 Gm Dm A7sus4
Very far, over land and se-e-e-e-a
A7 A7-5 A7 Dm Dm(maj7)
A little shy and sad of eye
E7 E7+5 A7+5-9
But very wi-i-i-i-se was he
Dm7 A7+5-9
And then one day
Dm7 A7+5-9
One magic day he passed my way
Dm Dm(maj7)
While we spoke of many things
Dm7 Dm6
Fools and Kings
Gm Dm A7sus4
This he said to me:
A7 A9 A7 Dm Dm(maj7) Dm
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
E7 A7+5-9
Is just to love and be loved in
Dm9 Dm9 Dm9 Dm9
