Capo 1


Intro: C, C/G, Am, F


           C    C/G
It's been years, he's been here

      Am           F
and time just lingers and no one knows

          C C/G
He's got eyes, he's got ears

   Am     F
He's got all of his fingers, and all of his toes



F   Em
His is a life of observation

F                    Em                  Am
Maybe one day he'll get to translate this information

F                           Em
For twenty years, he hasn't spoken a word

F                          G
He's been silent since the accident occured



C     C/G
While so many people taken tongues for granted

C/G     F
Taking the truth, finding ways to slant it

F      C
I know a man who'd know what to do



C       C/G
And so many people go day in and day out

C/G       F
just dreaming of things they can bitch about

F     C
I know a man who'd know what to do



C C/G
It's a dream, for him it's real

            Am                   F
but it never goes away and never will

C   C/G
He's in touch with what he feels

               Am       F
Oh but he just can't say, "Maybe it's better still"



F   Em
His is a life of endless frustration

F       Em               Am
He's got his pride, he's not exempt from humiliation

F Em
Can't lift a finger to stop what's wrong

F                     G
He can't lift a leg to dance to a Beatles song



C        C/G
While so many people taking spines for granted

C/G F
Slither and squirm, taking what they're handed

F     C
I know a man who'd know what to do



C      C/G
And so many people go day by day

C/G        F
Sitting on their hands, constantly complaining

F      C
I know a man who'd know what to do



(instrumental)

C, C/G, Am, F



C   C/G
And so many content to exist like sheep

C/G     F
Never scratching the surface of themselves too deep

F     C
I know a man who'd know what to do



C C/G
And so many people like you and me

C/G F
Never realizing what our lives could be

F     C
I know a man who'd know what to do
