A friend [Eb] of mine [Fm] is going blind, but through the dimness he [Bbm]
sees so much [Db] _ better than [Eb] me
_ And _ _ _ [Ab] how he cherishes [Eb] each new [Fm] thing that he sees, they are locked in [Db] his head
He will save them [Eb] for when _ he's in darkness again
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] He can't read books [Fm] and he can't paint pretty pictures, but he [Bbm] understands so [Db] much clearer than [Eb] I
_ For _ _ he [Ab] knows that all he's missing with [Fm] his eyes is more vivid in the [Db] mind

Won't [Db] you sing, Tommy [Ab] Davidson, of [Eb] things that you have [Ab] seen
Sing of [Db] winters, bights [Ab] and summer nights, and [Eb] places you have been _
[Db] Of dewdrops [Ab] and forget-me-nots, [Eb] and silver silky [Ab] sheen _
[Db] Laying across the [Ab] morning meadow on the [G] _ [Eb] hillside
_ _ This
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ friend [Eb] of mine, he [Fm] plays guitar and he sings his songs so well
And he [Bbm] sings so much [Db] _ better than [Eb] I _ _ _ _ _
He can [Ab] sing you any pictures in [Fm] your mind, he will sketch them out in [Db] rhyme
Draw the details in the [Eb] lines, _ and he'll color it [Ab] in time
_ _ [Eb] Oh, how he loves his [Fm] guitar, and it loves him, and [Bbm] they play so [Fm] much sweeter than [Eb] me _ _ _ _
As [Ab] if to say that come the day that he [Fm] can't see, he will have at his [Db] command
So much beauty in his [Eb] _ hands, that the loss won't [Ab] come so _ hard _

_ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
Won't [Db] you sing, Tommy [Ab] _ Davidson, [Eb] of things that you have [Ab] done
Sing of [Db] silver [Ab] seagulls sailing into [Eb] evening's golden sun
Sing [Db] of city streets [Ab] and villages, _ [Eb] and people on [Ab] the run
Tell [Db] the people how [Ab] you know it, Tommy [Eb] Davidson
