[Verse]
F# F#/F D#m
He smiled and rubbed the stubble on his chin
F# F#/F
He sure showed signs of weariness
D#m A#m
And dreariness of life that's growing thin
B C# F# C#
Yet he didn't have so very far to go
B C# F# C#
With a pencil in his hand he will travel on as planned
B C# F# C#
Where the mist up in the mountains threw a light [?]
[Chorus]
F# F#/F F#/E B C# F# C#
Craise Finton Kirk, see him go, on his way
F# F#/F F#/E B
Oh they don't know where he is
C# F# C# F# C#
Very very nice, very very nice
[Verse] variation
F# F#/F F#/E
Even in the morning when he slept
B C# F# C#
Something good is missing
F# F#/F F#/E
There's nothing very much to talk about
B C# F# C#
And nothing very much to see
[Chorus]
F# F#/F F#/E B C# F# C#
Craise Finton Kirk, see him go, on his way
F# F#/F F#/E B
Oh they don't know where he is
C# F# C# F# (break)
Very very nice, very very nice
[Verse]
F# F#/F D#m
Talks about the place he'd like to go
F# F#/F
And you never see the worrying
D#m A#m
And hurrying and that makes a person slow
B C# F# C#
Yet you wouldn't think he'd be so hard to find
B C# F# C#
Yet he looks so very busy but there's nothing on his mind
B C# F# C#
And his wavy hair continues not to grow
[Chorus]
F# F#/F F#/E B C# F# C#
Craise Finton Kirk, see him go, on his way
F# F#/F F#/E B
Oh they don't know where he is
C# F# C# F# (break)
Very very nice, very very nice
[Coda]

Craise Finton Kirk, see him go, on his way
N.C.
Oh they don't know where he is
N.C. F#
Very very nice, very very nice
