Dm Bb
He had a thousand ideas, You might have heard his name
F C G5
He lived alone with his vision, Not looking for fortune and fame
Dm Bb
Never said too much to speak of He was off on another plane
F C G5
The words that he said were a mystery Nobody's sure he was sane
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chorus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dm F G Dm
But he knew He knew more than me or you
F G Dm Bb C G5
No one could see his view Where was he going to
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ verse 2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dm Bb
He was in search of an answer The nature of what we are
F C G5
He was trying to do it a new way He was bright as a star
Dm Bb
But nobody understood him "His numbers are not the way"
F C G5
He's lost in the deepest enigma Which no one's unraveled today
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chorus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dm F G Dm
But he knew He knew more than me or you
F G Dm Bb C G5
No one could see his view Oh Where was he going to
Dm F G Dm
And he tried But before he could tell us he died
F G Dm Bb C G5
When he left us the people cried Oh, where was he going to
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Solo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dm Bb
He had a different idea A glimpse of the master plan
F C G5
He could see into the future A true visionary man
Dm Bb
But there's something he never told us It died when he went away
F C G5
If only he could have been with us No telling what he might say
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chorus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dm F G Dm
But he knew He knew more than me or you
F G Dm Bb C G5
No one could see his view Oh Where was he going to
Dm F G Dm
But he knew You could tell by the picture he drew
F G Dm Bb C G5
It was totally something new Oh, where was he going to
