[G] sheltered from the mob
[A] _ You [D] all loved him once _ _ [A] and not without [D]
cause
_ _ You all loved him once _
[G] When his glory was [D] unmatched
[G] Your signal wind [Bm] to celebrate [Em] was the bugle [A] of his laugh
[Bm] But when it came time [A] to stand with him [F#] you scattered [G] with the rats
_ _ You [D] all loved him once
_ [A] _ That time [D] has passed
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ You all loved him once
_ [G] When the future was [D] opaque _

And not without cause
He helped carry [Bm] your baggage
[Em] When your strength was [A] nearly gone [Bm] and the more and more [A] was put on [F#] him
Best to [G] take it on
_ _ [D] You all loved him once
