_ _ I sat the night [G] out [D] of a man O'Carroll, who [G] played [D] four things, And nor [A] the [D] ladies to hear [G] him play,
[D] All must have been _ [G] wondrous to feel [D] His music played at this, O'Man.
And _ the _ [G] people spoke of [D] your mighty _ God, If [G] he stowed [D] on you when you were a boy,
Or to play _ [G] _ with [D] your _ [Bm] magical fingers, To [G]
compose a [D] music that will all _ desire. _
_ And the light of the _ _ _ carillon, you men, _ Filled [G] so high [A] that _ I can [D] see,
Most _ [G] _
_ [D] people now have their music To [G] apply [D]
in darkness, and in _ gravity. _ _ _ _
O'Carroll, in [G] his _ [D] concerto, Was your tribute, [G] your ode,
[D] So people [A] would [D] remember your [A] name, [D] And that they'd count [G] the small hills.
[D] _ Yet if you played [G] a _ _ [D] conversation, They'd say it to him.
_ _ _ And O'Carroll, in all [G] delight, By [D] _
old such masters,
[G] You showed [D] people [A] you found [D] their hearts, And you gave [G] our music [D] that.
And he [Bm] did it, he did it, [G] And brought [D] people that this will never are. _ _
_ And the Lion Man, O'Lan, [A] Where is your monument?
_ [D] Built [G] it so high that [A] the world can [D] see, _ _ [G] All the [D] people now _ _ _ _ [G] have their music
To apply [D] _
in darkness, and [A] in gravity.
[D] _
_ _ _ _ Then a mighty _ [G] _ man, [D] Whose name was [Bm] O'Reed,
[G] He awakened [D] _ people to go to sleep.
And O [G]'Carroll's _ [D] music was [Bm] a part of [G] him, And I [D] remember _ him, but I am mine. _
He spoke _ [G]
with _ [D] great _ aspiration, _ [G] He played [D] your music [A] with grace [D] and [A] style,
_ [D] And [G] we'll remember [D] you, John O'Reid, [G] We will [D] _
remember _ you a long time.
_ _ And the Lion Man, O'Carroll, [A] He was your monument,
[D] He built [G] it so high that [A] _
_ _ _ we, [D]
And to [G] O'Reid we [D] _
_ [Bm] can't remain.
[G] He showed us [D] the Lion Man,
And _ _ _ _ _ _
_ the Lion Man, O _ 'Carroll, He was [A] your monument,
[D] He built it [G] so high that [D] the world can [A]
see,
_ [D] And to [G] O [D]'Reid we [Bm] can't remain.
[G] He showed [D] us the Lion Man, _ _ _ _ _
