intro-  G-C-G

Bm                    C-G
Reluctant hero of the family

C                           G-D
His life played out like a tragedy

C                     D         G
 A music man was all he claimed to be


Same thing for next verse

A flash of brilliance like a shooting star.
Etched in your mind for as long as you are.
Give him five minutes you could feel the music in his heart.


Am        C      G
Bringing joy to everyone

Em               D                 C
Taking pride in the work that he'd done

       D (mute)
But i never really thought that he'd be gone

       D (mute)
I was hoping there'd be just one more song

C                             G-C-G
Another man, another good man gone

C                             G-C-G
Another man, another good man gone


Singing melodies that warm my cold.
Never fittin' in to a typical mold.
Takin'me back to the days of old.

Telling tales of life and places he'd been, 
A prophet of sorts to his following kin.
Visit him once and you knew you'd be back, over and over
and over and over again.

You know we had a lot of fun.
All in all it was a hell of a run.

Remember how we laughed and how we cried.
Fifty-three years till his heart grew tired.
But he left his mark just like a branding iron.

Sometimes I still hear the music play.
A warm wind blowin' all the clouds away.
Lettin' the sun shine bright in the sky on a cold dark winter day.

No one stays forever young.
Nothing's for sure but the rising of the sun.



ending-

C                    D
another man, another man

                    G-C-G
another good man gone
