Standard (EADGBE)

There was a boy, a very strange enchanted boy.

  +7

They say he wandered very far, very far,

Over land and sea;

-5

A little shy and sad of eye, but very wise was he.

 And then one day, a magic day he passed my way;

  +7

And while we spoke of many things, fools and kings,

This he said to me,

  -5 +7

"The greatest thing you'll ev - er learn

  -5 -5 +5

Is just to love and be loved in re - turn."

(Instrumental Interlude - 1st 3 lines of second verse)

-5 +7

"The greatest thing you'll ev - er learn

  -5 -5 +5

Is just to love and be loved in re - turn."
