Intro: D5 D4 (2x) 

verse 1 
         D5 
He's the man with the banjo 

And the twelve string guitar 
           D4 
And he's singin' us a song 

To tell us who we are 
          D5 
When you look in his eyes 
                         D4 
You know that somebody's in there 

verse 2 
         D5 
Yeah he knows where we're going 

And where we been 
            D4 
And how the fog is gettin' thicker 

Where the future should begin 
          D5 
When you look at his life 
                           D4 
You know that he's really been there
