          D               Em
He was a most peculiar man.
That's what Missus Riordon said,
                   A7
and she should know;
              D            G
She lived upstairs from him.
                   A7            D
She said he was a most peculiar man.

          D               Em
He was a most peculiar man.
He lived all alone within a house,
              A7          D   G A7
within a room, within himself.
                 D
A most peculiar man.

He had no friends
He seldom spoke
And no one in turn ever spoke to him
‘Cause he wasn’t friendly and he didn’t care
And he wasn’t like them
Oh no, he was a most peculiar man

He died last Saturday
He turned on the gas
And he went to sleep
With the windows closed
So he’d never wake up
To his silent world
And his tiny room
And Mrs. Riordan says he has a brother somewhere
Who should be notified soon

    G               A7
And all the people said,
          D              Bm
"What a shame that he's dead,
     G           A7            D
But wasn't he a most peculiar man?"
