Chorus: G C G
Oh, you don't need ears to listen, if your mind is open 
too,
G C D
There's all this life and livin', and its all a part of 
you,
G C G
You can listen with your eyes, you can listen with your 
toes,
C G D G
You can even listen with your big nose!
G Em C D G
1) I once knew a man, he could listen to the rocks,
G Bm C D
He could hear the grass a-growin', and hear the 
sleeping fox,

G C D
He could hear the clouds a-passing,& the song of the 
morning dew,
G Bm D G
too!
(Chorus)
2) I once knew a woman, and her ears were going bad,
But she knew how to listen, so it wasn't quite so sad,
She could hear the flowers open, she could hear the 
desert sing,
And if you start to listen, you can hear most anything!
(Chorus)
3) So next time you're feelin' quiet, set yourself 
right down,
And listen to the Earth, but don't listen for a sound,
You can hear the trees a-growing, and hear the sunbeam 
fall,
Yes, if you start to listen, you can hear it all!
(Final Chorus)
