C F C G C
[Verse]
G C
There was a crazy man lived by the sea
G C
He'd stand on the beach as still as a tree
F C
The wind beat his body, the salt burned his face
G Am C
The crazy man he, loved that place
G C
The crazy man he, loved that place
[Instrumental]
C F C G C
[Verse]
G C
The people thought he was some kind of sage
G C F
Who had wisdom from another age
C
They turned to him to show them the way
G Am C
The crazy man had nothing to say
G C
The crazy man had nothing to say
[Chorus]
F C
"I have no answers, don't ask me why
G C F C
Maybe someday soon it will all come clear
F C G C
By and by and by"
[Instrumental]
C G C G C
[Verse]
G C
They grew angry and they asked him again
G C F
Pleading for answers, he gave them none
C
He just whispered looking out at the sea
G Am C
"Look to yourselves and not to me
G C
Look to yourselves and not to me"
[Instrumental]
C F C G C
[Verse]
G C
And so they beat him and they drove him away
G C F
"He has failed us", they were heard to say
C
They were afraid, they did not understand
G Am C
He was just a crazy man
G C
He was just a crazy man
[Chorus]
F C
"I have no answers, don't ask me why
G C F C
Maybe someday soon it will all come clear
F C G
By and by
[Chorus]
