[F] [Bb]
[C] [F]
[Bb] [C] [F]
In the ancient middle 50s, [Bb] [C] the closing [F] 60s roar, I was caught up in [Bb] your passion, [C] I could
only beg [F] for more.
And if [Bb] I had a dollar [C] bill, I'd give it to [F] you then, so I could [Bb] tell the whole wide world
[C] one day I knew [F] you when.
[Bb]
[C] [F]
[C] [F]
Your dangerous [Bb] charisma, [C] your thundering [F] attack, you charged the [Bb] very air I breathed [C] and kept
me coming [F] back.
You helped me through [Bb] my darkest hours, [C] you always were [F] my friend.
You gave me hope [Bb] to carry on, [C] because I knew [F] you when.
[Bb] I knew you when [Am] the mountain tops [Bb] were right beneath [F] your feet, [Bb] when artistry [F] and freedom were [C] complete.
[Bb] Before you were [C] a icon, [F] before [Am] they all [Dm] drew near, [F] [Bb] you could say [Gm] I knew [F] you when.
[Bb]
[C] [F]
[Bb]
[C] [F]
We all sit here with [Bb] our memories of [C] glorious long [F] ago, when our heroes seemed [Bb] immortal,
[C] were they really [F] so?
It's a question for [Bb] a wiser man, [C] I will not ask [F] again, I will only say I'm [Bb] grateful for
[C] the time I knew [F] you when.
I knew you when.
I knew [Bb] you when.
[F] Oh, I knew you when.
I knew you when.
I knew [Bb] you when.
[C] Yeah, I [F] knew you when.
[Bb]
[C] [F]
[Bb]
[C] [F]
I knew you [Bb]
[C] [F]
when.
[Bb]
[C] Yeah, I knew [F] you when.
