Thread Name: Lyr Req: Harvey (is a Listening Man)
Subject: Lyr Add: HARVEY
Found the words to Harvey on an old song sheet which was used by my Church Young adults group in the 70"s
Harvey
Am D Am D
1.Harvey's in his forties, he's tall and rather thin
C F E
You'd know that he's a miner by the blue scars on his Skin
Chorus
Am D Am D
And he listens with his hands, he listens with his face
C F E
He listens with the whole of him at any time or place
Am Dm Am E Am
For Harvey is a listening man, he'll listen all his days.

1.Harvey's in his forties, he's tall and rather thin
You'd know that he's a miner by the blue scars on his skin
CHORUS
And he listens with his hands, he listens with his face
He listens with the whole of him at any time or place
For Harvey is a listening man, he'll listen all his days.
2. When he's with his pigeons and children mill around
He tells them how to follow every gentle cooing sound
3. Old men on the park bench, they rattle memories door
To root out every treasure and he's heard it all before
4. Often in the local, his foot up on the rail
He bends his head, respectful of the silence when words fail.
5. Down the pit a stone falls, for someone that's the end
And as they think of kinfolk, well, it's Harvey that they send.
