G C His days were filled with canvas scenes D Em Of browns and blues and meadow greens. Bm C G And the world just passed on by his door. D G G He lived, but lived alone. G D Em Bm And he'd come to town with his old wool cap pulled down. C G D7 D7 Surrounded by the dogs that were his friends. G D Em Bm At times too drunk to stand, he'd shake familiar hands. C G D7 And sit around the Esso station, 'til his loneliness would end. G C D Em And I knew a painter, in my reckless days. Bm C G D7 Bristle bearded, humble on his feet. G C A sympathetic, sad old elf, D Em He knew me better than I knew myself Bm C G In the last days of my boyhood, D7 G G In my time upon the street. G D Em Bm And long through the night, a faded yellow light, C G D (arpeggio 2 bars) Would burn inside the room where he would stand. G D Em Bm And play the old victrola and drink his rusty wine. C G D7 And conduct the Mozart music with his heart and shaking hand. D G Gsus4 G But he could paint a picture, and he could capture life. D D/C G And no one ever felt things more than he. D D/C G D/F# Em Em/D He was never much for roses, he'd sooner paint the thorns. C C 'Cause he found a keener beauty there C D That no one else could see. G C Someone bought the house he lived in. D Em Painted up the room he died in. Bm C G D Swept away the cobwebs and the dust from off the floor. G C The children laugh, the seasons run, D Em Young lovers roll in midnight fun. Bm C G But no one loves more than the one D7 G G Who paints the world no more. G D Em Bm And long through the night, a faded yellow light, C G D (arpeggio 2 bars) Would burn inside the room where he would stand. G D Em Bm And play the old victrola and drink his rusty wine. C G D7 And conduct the Mozart music with his heart and shaking hand. ENDING: Guitar only, rapidly picking between each chord for a half measure. G D G C D G C D G Em C D G
