[Intro]
D G A D
[Verse]
D
You all loved him once
G D
And not without cause
G Bm
He fed you through the winter
Em A
He led you through the fog
Bm A
You hid behind his body to be
F# G
sheltered from the mob
D
You all loved him once
A D
And not without cause
[Verse]
D
You all loved him once
G D
When his glory was unmatched
G Bm
Your signal when to celebrate
Em A
Was the bugle of his laugh
Bm A
Oh, when it came time to stand with him
F# G
You scattered with the rats
D
You all loved him once
A D
That time has passed
[Verse]
D
You all loved him once
G D
When the future was opaque
G Bm
His reassuring visions
Em A
Were the pillars of your faith
Bm A
Through a thousand false horizons
F# G
He would always fly it straight
D
You all loved him once
A D
That turned to hate
[Verse]
D
You all loved him once
G D
An uncommon love at that
G Bm
What you saw as a pedestal
Em A
Was his elevated path
Bm A
So to satisfy the Philistines
F# G
You stabbed him in the back
D
You all loved him once
A D
Imagine that
[Verse]
D
You all loved him once
G D
Yes you ate out of his hand
G Bm
He mirrored your confusion
Em A
So that you might understand
Bm A
Then your soul was an experiment
F# G
So he drew a diagram
D
You all loved him once
A D
It ended bad
[Verse]
D
You all loved him once
G D
And not without cause
G Bm
He helped carry your baggage
Em A
When your strength was nearly gone
Bm A
And the more and more was put on him
F# G
He tried his best to take it on
D
You all loved him once
A D
Not without cause
D
You all loved him once
A D
Now he is gone
