i heard he sang a good song

and so i came to see him   
Em7  
and listen for a while

a stranger to my eyes

i felt all flushed with fever  
G           C  
embarrassed by the crowd  
Am         D7  
i felt he found my letters   
Em7  
and read each one out loud  
Am7            D7  
i prayed that he would finish

he sang as if he knew me

Am          D7  
and then he looked right through me

singing clear and strong
