Intro 1
(G major) (D major) (E minor) (A minor) (C major) (D major)
(G major) (D major) (E minor) (C major) (D major)
(G major) (D major)
(E minor) But
Verse 1
through the dimness,
he sees (A minor) so much better (C major) than me (D major)
And how he cherishes (G major)
each new (D major) thing that (E minor) he sees
They are locked in his head
(C major) He will save them for (D major) when he's
in (B minor) darkness again (D major) (G major)
He (D major) can't read books
an (E minor) d he can't paint pretty pictures
But he under (A minor) stands so
much clearer (C major) than I (D major)
For he knows (G major) that all he's
miss (D major) ing with (G major) (D major) his (E minor) eyes
Is more vivid in the mind
(C major) of the man who's going blind (D major)
And that's why he doesn't mind (G major)
(D major) (E minor) (A minor) (C major) (D major)
Won't you sing, (C major) Tommy David (G major) son,
of thing (D major) s that you have seen? (G major)
The singer of win (C major) ter's bite
and summer (G major) nights and
places (D major) you have been
Of dew (C major) drops and forget (G major) -me -nots
and silver (D major) silky sheen (G major)
Laying across (C major) the morning meadow
(G major) on the (D major) hillside
(G major) This friend of mine, (D major) he plays guitar
and he (E minor) sings his songs so well
And he sing (A minor) s so much
bet (C major) ter than I (D major)
He can sing (G major) you any pictures (D major) in your (E minor) mind
He will sketch them out in rhyme
(C major) Draw the details in the lines
(D major) And he'll color it (B minor) in (D major) time
(G major) Oh, (D major) how he loves his guitar,
(E minor) and it loves him
And they play (A minor) so much
sweeter (C major) than me (D major)
As if to say (G major) that come the day
that he (D major) can (E minor) 't see
He will have at his command
(C major) so much beauty in his hands (D major)
But the loss won't come so (G major) hard
(D major) (E minor) (A minor) (C major) (D major)
Won't you sing, (C major) Tommy David (G major) son
Of things (D major) that you have done
(G major) Sing of (C major) silver seagulls sail (G major) ing
Into even (D major) ing's golden sun
Sing of cit (C major) ies, streets and vil (G major) lages,
the (D major) people on the run (G major)
Tell the people (C major) how you know (G major) it,
Tommy David (D major) son
A (G major) friend of mine is (D major) (G major) going blind,
(E minor) but through the dimness
He sees (A minor) so much better (C major) than me (D major)
And how he (G major) cherishes
each new (D major) thing that he sees (E minor)
They are locked in his head (C major)
He will save them for when
(D major) he's in darkness again
(G major)
