G G/F# C G C C/B D
I once knew a poet, who lived before his time
G G/F# C G C C/B D
He and his dog Spooner, who listened while he rhymed
Em Bm C C/B F F/E D
Words to make ya happy, words to make you cry
G G/F# C G C D G C G
Then one day the poet suddenly did die
G G/F# C G C C/B D
But he left behind a closet, filled with verse and rhyme
G G/F# C G C C/B D
Through some strange transaction one was printed in the Times
Em Bm C C/B F F/E D
And everybody searchin for the king of underground
G G/F# C G C D G C G
Well they found him down in Florida, with a tombstone for a crown
C C/B D
And everybody knows the lines
C C/B D
From his book that costs $4.99
C C/B D
And I wonder if he knows he's doin
C G
Quite this fine
G G/F# C G C C/B D
Cause his books are all best sellers, his poems were turned to songs
G G/F# C G C C/B D
Had his brother on a talk show, though they never got along
Em Bm C C/B F F/E D
And now he's called immortal, yes he's even taught in school
G G/F# C G C D G C G
They say he used his talent, a most proficient tool
G G/F# C G C C/B D
But he left all of his royalties, to Spooner his old hound
G G/F# C G C C/B D
Growin old on steak and bacon, in a dog house 10 feet 'round
Em Bm C C/B F F/E D
And everybody wonders, did he really lose his mind
G G/F# C G C D G C G
No, he was just a poet who lived before his time.
G G/F# C G C D G C G
He was just a poet who lived before his time.
