Shaded by a tree, can't live up to a rose

All you ever wanted was a sunny place to grow
Chorus:
C
Pretty little thing,
G
Sometimes you gotta look up
C G D
And let the world see all the beauty that you're made of
Em G
'Cause the way you hang your head, nobody can tell
Em G
You're my Virginia bluebell
Em G
My Virginia bluebell

Put a little light in the darkest places
