Nature boy

Eden Ahbez

E7    Am         Dm  E7              Am         Dm7
There was a boy,   a very strange enchanted boy.

     E       E7      Am   Ammaj7 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   Ammaj7  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   Ammaj7
"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."
