   7    7   7  7   7 -6*  -6*  -6*
Thrown like a star in my vast sleep 
-6*-6* 6  6   6   6   6  -5  -5
I   o-pen my eyes to take a peep 
7   7    7   7  7 -6* -6* -6*
To find that I was by the sea 
-6*  6   6    6    6  -5 -5
Gaz-ing with tran-quil-i-ty. 
  -5   -6   -6  -6  -6  -6  6  6   6
`Twas then when the Hur-dy Gur-dy Man 
 6    6   -5   -5   5 -55-4
came sing-ing songs of love 
 -6   -6  -6  -6  -6  6  6   6

came sing-ing songs of love

Histories of ages past unenlightened shadows cast 
Down thro` all eternity the crying of humanity 
`Tis then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man comes singing

Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man comes singing songs 
of love
