                      C
Well I spoke to this man,
D                      G
Said he’d been to the moon,
Em                       C
Carved his name in the ground,
                        D
Saw the world spinning round,
                         G
And came back that afternoon.

And I laughed at this man
Said he’d been lost at sea
Heard the sirens call
Seen the pirates fall
To the monsters in the deep

Chorus:
                               C
I said I’d heard some tall tales
D                        Em
Some good stories in my time
Bm                   C
So I asked him for proof
                       D
And he showed me the truth
                          G
There was dancing in his eyes.

I could not believe this man,
Said he was a millionaire,
He said I know I dress in rags,
But I drive a vintage Jag,
And I’ve got a diamond chandelier.

Chorus:
I said I think I need a drink,
And made my way outside,
You know I’d swear this was a spoof,
If it wasn’t for the truth,
That was dancing in his eyes.

When I came back in the room,
The man had disappeared,
He left a rock from the moon,
And eyepatch and a diamond,
From a chandelier.
