He was named nineteenhD6undred 'TD' H7  
in the ship`s belly lEmies his crCadlDe Em  
had no birthday Dand no lCand of hoGme
the Docean has no boEmunds
virginian soH7unds D6  G  
and he faced the woDrld from inside G  
the ball-room of splDendid skies C  
and on the grDand piano C  
his hands light as bDutterflies G  
he played for the rDich and for the poor G  
thrilling the hDearts of all C  
the world could have bDeen beneath his feeCt
searching the caH7ll
the voice of the seEma 
old chandelier tD6ells a storyH7  
old piano still Emechoes Cin hDere Em  
old ship lies rDusted Cin the poGrt
and the bDest years fade awEmay
the splendour has goH7ne D6  G  
not what he saDw could hold him baGck
it was what he dDidn`t see C  
there was no Dend in this town C  
keys so etDernally G  
but this was gDod`s piano G  
he heard on the gDangway there C  
he couldn`t leDave forever C  
the sea to somewheH7re
Gbow and stern
Emall the wishes betweCen
(wDishes to yGearn) 
the wEmorld outside is a dreHmam
(a lDone dream, lH7one dream) Em  
and when the whCole world`s leaving G  
the music will Dalways stay Em  
and if a stCory`s worth to tGell
the end will be fH7ar away
the fEminal nDotes lie mCute upoDn the saEndC  
when land is a shHmip too big
a wEmoman Dout of reCach Hm  
a journey too fEmar
a whDiff too strGong
he didn`t exF#ist for anyHone

D6 H7

He was named nineteenhundred 'TD'

Em C D Em

in the ship`s belly lies his cradle

D C G

had no birthday and no land of home

D Em

the ocean has no bounds

H7 D6 G

virginian sounds

D G

and he faced the world from inside

D C

the ball-room of splendid skies

D C

and on the grand piano

D G

his hands light as butterflies

D G

he played for the rich and for the poor

D C

thrilling the hearts of all

D C

the world could have been beneath his feet

searching the call

the voice of the sea

D6 H7

old chandelier tells a story

Em C D Em

old piano still echoes in here

D C G

old ship lies rusted in the port

D Em

and the best years fade away

H7 D6 G

the splendour has gone

D G

not what he saw could hold him back

D C

it was what he didn`t see

D C

there was no end in this town

D G

keys so eternally

D G

but this was god`s piano

D C

he heard on the gangway there

D C

he couldn`t leave forever

the sea to somewhere

bow and stern

Em C

all the wishes between

D G

(wishes to yearn)

Em Hm

the world outside is a dream

D H7 Em

(a lone dream, lone dream)

C G

and when the whole world`s leaving

D Em

the music will always stay

C G

and if a story`s worth to tell

the end will be far away

Em D C D E C

the final notes lie mute upon the sand

when land is a ship too big

Em D C Hm

a woman out of reach

a journey too far

D G

a whiff too strong

F# H

he didn`t exist for anyone
