          A7A7          A7A7
When I was just a boy I’d be kicking a tin
          D9D9           A7A7
Take the short cut home through the loony bin
          A7A7           A7A7
I never gave much thought to the souls in there
       Esus4Esus4       A7A7
I was just a boy, too young to care

          A7A7        A7A7
Well the years go by and you get to see
          D9D9      A7A7
A augmentedA dream’s not the same as reality
         A7A7            A7A7
Well a dream or two is going to crash and burn
        Esus4Esus4         A7A7  A7A7
And that’s the way that you live and learn

           A7A7          A7A7
Well it was late one night and I woke at two
         D9D9         A7A7
And I lay there thinking the way you do
      A7A7           A7A7
But it’s a long dark night of the soul
       Esus4Esus4           A7A7
When those thoughts are turning sad and old


       A7A7         A7A7
And then outside on the empty street
       D9D9        A7A7
I heard the sound of walking feet
          A7A7      A7A7
Well it was just a boy away from home
            Esus4Esus4          A7A7
And he was singing the song ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’
