   A              C#m             D            A
1. I sat before the wise man in the autumn of my youth
   A                 C#m             D - E
   And I told him all the things I had to know
   F#m               C#m           D                 A
   He said you have the future if you need to find the truth
   Bm         D                   A   D - E
   And in his eyes I saw that it was so

2. So I came around and asked him the meaning of live
   And as he smiled I saw a twinkle in his eyes
   He said with all his years there's still so much he has to learn
   Bm        D                   A
   And once again I saw that it was so

   G       F#m-Em  D
*: Keep on living, loving, waiting your turn
   G           F#m - Em      D
   Is the only way to ease your concern
   F#m                E
   If you want to find your dream be sure
   F#m               E
   You don't wake up too soon
   F#m             E               D
   Or you'll find it easier shooting for the moon

   A        C#m        D                 A
R: Wise man wise man, which way should I run
   C#m            D            A
   There's so many roads, so many ways to turn
   C#m       D           F
   I'm like a blind man, lost in the sun
   A                    F#m
   I wanna be like you and be a wise man too
   D         Dm          A
   But I'm looking for an easy way to learn

R: Wise man wise man...
