[Dm]
[F]
[C]
There's a noise upstairs in [Dm] the attic It's
[F] the shuffle of worn out shoes
[C] And the scent of the old hand brushes [Dm]
[F] Drifts down like a pale perfume
[Cm] And he says, I, I [Ab] am a man A simple man [Gm] of [Eb] colors
And I can [Cm] see, see through the [Ab] years Years of a [Gm] man of
[Eb] colors
And
[Dm] the old man loves his failing life It [F] takes a moment to watch the view
[C]
From a window nobody [G] knows [Dm] is there And [F] see the empty street below
[Cm] And he says, I, I am a [Ab] man A simple [Gm] man of colors

anyway
