          A7          A7
When I was just a boy I’d be kicking a tin
          D9           A7
Take the short cut home through the loony bin
          A7           A7
I never gave much thought to the souls in there
       Esus4       A7
I was just a boy, too young to care

          A7        A7
Well the years go by and you get to see
          D9      A7
A dream’s not the same as reality
         A7            A7
Well a dream or two is going to crash and burn
        Esus4         A7  A7
And that’s the way that you live and learn

           A7          A7
Well it was late one night and I woke at two
         D9         A7
And I lay there thinking the way you do
      A7           A7
But it’s a long dark night of the soul
       Esus4           A7
When those thoughts are turning sad and old


       A7         A7
And then outside on the empty street
       D9        A7
I heard the sound of walking feet
          A7      A7
Well it was just a boy away from home
            Esus4          A7
And he was singing the song ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’
