intro: C Am F G7 C Am F GC Am F G7 C Am F+9 


C            Am   F      G7 
The greatest man I never knew
C          Am           F
Lived just down the hall
C        Am        F     G7
And everyday we said hello
C         Am            F    G
But never touched at all
Am              Em
He was in his paper
F           Esus4 E 
I was in my room
F                                   G7       C
How was I to know he thought I hung the moon


C            Am   F      G7
The greatest man I never knew
C         Am              F
Came home late every night
C        Am          F      G7
He never had too much to say 
C            Am         F   G
Too much was on his mind
Am                  Em
I never really knew him
      F                Esus4 E
Oh and now it seems so sad
F                                 G7     C
Everything he gave to us took all he had

Em            F  
Then the days turned into years
        C               G         C  Em
And the memories to black and white
Em                      F
He grew cold like an old winter wind
C                     Gsus4 G7
Blowing across my life

C            Am     F          G7
The greatest words I never heard
C            Am        F     
I guess I'll never hear
C           Am            F     G7
The man I thought would never die
C             Am          F    G
Has been dead almost a year
Am                     Em
oH, He was good in business
              F                Esus4 E
But there was business left to do
F                 
He never said he loved me
         F       G C        
Guess he thought I knew
