A most peculiar man
Paul simon

         D
He was a most peculiar man
Em
that's what missus riordon said, and she would know
A7        D
she lived upstairs from him
G                 A7            D
she said he was a most peculiar man

he was a most peculiar man
he lived all alone within a house within a room, 
within himself
  a most peculiar man

he had no friends, he seldom spoke
no-one in turn ever spoke to him, 'cause he wasn't friendly and he didn't care, 
and he wasn't like them
Oh no, he was a most peculiar man

he died last saturday
he turned on the gas and he went to sleep with the windows closed so he'd never wake up to his silent world and his tiny room and missus riordon says he has a brother somewhere
who should be notified soon

    G              A7
and all the people said
       D                Bm
what a shame that he's dead
    G           A7            D
but wasn't he a most peculiar man
