              E7    Am         Dm  E7              Am         Dm7 
There was a boy,   a very strange enchanted boy. 
 
     E       E7      Am   Am+7 Am7  Am6 
They say he wandered very far, very far,  
 
Dm7   Am       E7 
Over land and sea; 
 
  Dm7        E7   Bm7/5-   Am        F        Dm7    E7 
A little shy   and sad of eye, but very wise    was he. 
 
 
    Am           Dm         E7     Am        Dm7 
And then one day,   a magic day he passed my way; 
 
     E        E7      Am   Am+7    Am7        Am6 
And while we spoke of many things, fools and kings, 
 
Dm7      Am     E7 
This he said to me, 
 
     Gdim     Dm7         Bm7/5-      Am   Am+7 
"The greatest thing you'll ev - er learn 
 
   Bm7/5-    E7      Bm7/5-      E7 E7/5+   Am     E7 
Is just to love and  be  loved in  re - turn."

Gdim     Dm7         Bm7/5-      Am   Am+7 
"The greatest thing you'll ev - er learn 
 
   Bm7/5-    E7      Bm7/5-      E7 E7/5+   Am      
Is just to love and  be  loved in  re - turn."
