Nat King Cole - Nature Boy

E7 Am Dm E7 Am Dm7
there was a boy , a very strange enchanted boy .

E E7 Am Am+7 Am7 Am6
they say he wandered very far , very far ,

Dm7 Am E7
over land and sea;

Dm7 E7 Bm7 – 5 Am F Dm7 E7
a little shy and sad of eye , but very wise was he .

Am Dm E7 Am Dm7
and then one day , a magic day he passed my way;

E E7 Am Am+7 Am7 Am6
and while we spoke of many things , fools and kings ,

Dm7 Am E7
this he said to me ,

Gdim Dm7 Bm7 – 5 Am Am+7
“the greatest thing you’ll ev – er learn

Bm7 – 5 E7 Bm7 – 5 E7 E7+5 Am E7
is just to love and be loved in re – turn . ”
