Capo 1

C            Am       F    G
The greatest man I never knew
C           Am        F
Lived just down the hall
C            Am       F    G
And everyday we said hello
C           Am        F
But never touched at all
Am              Em
He was in his paper
F            Em   
I was in my room
F                                 F  G   C
How was I to know he thought I hung the moon
C            Am       F    G
The greatest man I never knew
C           Am        F
Came home late every night
C            Am       F    G
He never had too much to say 
C           Am        F
Too much was on his mind
Am                 Em
I never really knew him
F                      Em
Oh and now it seems so sad
F                              F  G  C     
Everything he gave to us took all he had
Em            F  
Then the days turned into years
        C            G               C 
And the memories to black and white
Em                    F
He grew cold like an old winter wind
C                  G
Blowing across my life
C            Am       F    G
The greatest words I never heard
 C           Am        F
I guess I'll never hear
C            Am       F        G
The man I thought would never die
C           Am        F
S'been dead almost a year
Am               Em
He was good in business
                F              Em
But there was business left to do
F
He never said he loved me
         F       G C        
Guess he thought I knew
