D 
 (G major)  (D major)  (A major)  (D major)  (B minor)  (A major) Most  (D major) of
the people in our town
A 
always used  (A major) to laugh at Wesley,
G 
but  (G major) somehow poor old Wesley
A 
D 
 (A major) never seemed funny to  (D major) me.
Well, you know, if it wasn't for him,
I wouldn't know much about
G 
Em 
life  (G major) and living.  (E minor) 
A 
Because  (A major) when I was a young boy,
D 
G 
here's what he  (D major) said to me.  (G major) 
D 
Em 
Don't believe  (D major) anything you hear,  (E minor) 
A 
D 
let only  (A major) half of what your eye (D major) s  behold.
G 
An (G major) d if you can't say something
D 
A 
good  (D major) about someone,  (A major) 
D 
don't say nothing at all.  (D major) 
Every morning I'd stand
A 
G 
and I'd wait for  (A major) Wesley to  (G major) come and take
A 
D 
A 
me down to  (A major)  (D major) our favorite place.  (A major) 
D 
 (D major) There we'd sit all day,
and we'd talk,
G 
Em 
we'd talk about  (G major) happy things  (E minor) while fishing.
A 
 (A major) He taught me how to live,
D 
how to be a  (D major) man.
Then he'd say,
G 
D 
 (G major) Don't believe any (D major) thing you hear,
Em 
A 
D 
and  (E minor) only have a  (A major) watch your eyes be (D major) hold.
G 
And if you  (G major) can't say something
D 
good  (D major) about someone,
A 
D 
B 
don't  (A major) say nothing at  (D major) all.  (B major) 
E 
 (E major) Oh, how it hurt to hear
B 
people laugh  (B major) at Wesley.
A 
B 
They  (A major) called him a silly old  (B major) man,
E 
B 
right to his  (E major) face.  (B major) 
E 
 (E major) But I'm the only one who cried
A 
F#m 
the  (A major) day we lost Wesley  (F sharp minor) 
B 
 (B major) How I'd give anything
E 
to  (E major) hear him say
A 
E 
 (A major) Don't believe anything  (E major) you hear
F#m 
B 
E 
And  (F sharp minor) only  half of  (B major) what your eyes behold (E major) 
A 
And if you  (A major) can't say something
E 
good  (E major) about someone,
B 
E 
 (B major) don't say nothing at  (E major) all.
A 
E 
If  (A major) everybody tried to be  (E major) more like Wesley,
B 
A 
there  (B major) wouldn't be no trouble at all.  (A major) 
E 
E 
 (E major)  (E major)
