           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
