[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
