I think the song is originally played without a capo starting on an A# in stead of a G –
it is, however, easier to play this way:

Ph to Em7 on the Em in the end of each verse.

Capo 3rd

There

was a man came to our town
He wore a suit of red
He memorized with secret eyes
That he hid away in his head

He

had a scar upon his head
Where there used to be a crown
But he sold his robes at the five and ten
And lived on the edge of town

That

fall he showed us a magic leaf
That he could change to snow
He bought it partly with his grief
And partly with his soul

He s

cattered seeds in the alley way
He never seemed to rest
And when you went to ask him why
All he ever said was yes

He

made a swan from waving grass
Beside a crystal shore
And a sunrise spun from broken glass
And many things wondrous more

But t

hen his hands began to burn
When he heard the news from the war
When we cannot find each other he said
Then we can’t run away any more

Next d

ay with tears along his face
He passed us on the hill
No one thought to ask him to stay
And he knows that we never will

There

was a man came to our town
He wore a suit of red
He memorized with secret eyes
That he hid away in our head
