VERSE 
Dm 
On a hill, inside a house in Covewell Reach 
Dm                              C 
Stands a man who's feeling very tired 
F                               E 
Looking at a song he wrote some time ago 
Am                              G 
Could have made it big inside a Broadway show 


VERSE 
Dm 
Every day I go away and find ideas 
Dm                                   C 
Think I'll climb on top of somewhere high 
F                               E 
Couldn't I write a song about a man who's dead? 
Am                           G 
Didn't really know if he was off his head 



G         E      Am                F# 
Ev'rybody knows, that's the way it goes 
    G               E 
Too bad for Gilbert Green 
    C               A                 Dm 
Now we can tell the world that he was right 


INTERLUDE

VERSE 
Dm 
Sitting in his attic on a sunny day 
Dm                             C 
Mending fifty goblets that are worn 
F                            E 
Humming to himself a song of yesteryear 
    Am                                    G 
His hearing wasn't good but his eyes were clear 



G         E      Am                F# 
Ev'rybody knows, that's the way it goes 
    G               E 
Too bad for Gilbert Green 
    C               A                 Dm 
Now we can tell the world that he was right

VERSE 
Dm 
Now the house is burnt, along with Gilbert Green 
Dm                               C 
Sad to see his sisters stand and cry 
    F                                E 
And in the basement lies a song that wasn't seen 
Am                                 G 
Tells the tale of laughing men and yellow beans 



G         E      Am                F# 
Ev'rybody knows, that's the way it goes 
    G               E 
Too bad for Gilbert Green 
    C               A                 D5 
Now we can tell the world that he was right
