Tell me the truth, how do you feel?

Don't feel too bad, you're not all alone

We're all tryin' to get along

Just go along til they turn out the lights

There's nothin' we can do to fight it

Till he's far beyond the pain

Go on living just the same

F Fmaj7
I once knew a man, a very talented guy
A# Gm
He'd sing for the people and people would cry
F C
They knew that his song came from deep down inside
A#maj7 Gm F
You could hear it in his voice and see it in his eyes

And so he traveled along, touch your heart, then be gone
F C A# Gm
Like a flower, he bloomed till that old hickory wind called him home
[Chorus]

My man's got it made

He's gone far beyond the pain

And we who must remain

Go on living just the same
