;C
Sittin' all alone
:Sittin' all alone, just listening to the breeze
Just listening to the breeze
;                            G
Oh I can still remember that music
:Oh I can still remember that music
;G
:I never knew his name, cause he never told me
;                            C
:And I never thought to ask him


But he was my friend, even though we never spoke much
I never knew his name
Cause he never told me
And I never thought to ask him
 
But he was my friend
Even though we never spoke much
He talked to me with his music
He talked to me with his music
And I knew that he was as gentle as the breeze
 
And I knew that he was
As gentle as the breeze
Cause when he played he just made you feel good
Cause when he played he just made you feel good


Playin' his accordion under that tree
Playin' his accordion
Under that tree
I remember everybody would go there
I remember everybody would go there
And all the little children, sittin' all around him
 
And all the little children
Sittin' all around him
Watching and listening to him play
Watching and listening to him play


Singing all the songs they knew, and if they didn't know them
Singing all the songs they knew
And if they didn't know, then
They'd still sing, but that's alright
They'd still sing, but that's alright
You see he didn't mind 'cause he lived all alone
 
You see he didn't mind
Cause he lived all alone
And he loved when we'd sit there and listen
And he loved when we'd sit there and listen

;        Am
I'm the accordion man
:I'm the accordion man
And I play for the children
;      D
As they listen a-while to the music
:And I play for the children
That I'm playing for them
;          G
And if they like the song
:As they listen a-while to the music
Soon they all start to sing along
;          C
It's the smiles on their faces
:That I'm playin' for them
That matters to me
;Bb
They don't care if I play
:And if they like the song
In the same melodies
;          Ab
I just play what I can
:Soon they all start to sing along
I'm the accordion man

The years have gone by, and the children are all grown up
The years have gone by
And the children are all grown up
And they don't go there anymore
And they don't go there anymore
The place where he stayed and the songs that he played
 
The place where he stayed
And the songs that he played
And the sound of the laughter are all gone now
And the sound of the laughter are all gone now


But every now and then I sit back and I close my eyes
But every now and then
I sit back and I close my eyes
And I can still hear the music
And I can still hear the music
And how the children would laugh and sing as he played
 
And how the children would laugh
And sing as he played
And I smile cause it still makes me feel good
And I smile cause it still makes me feel good
