Verse 1:
G          Dsus4       C          G
Here is a tale of the trees in a wood
            Em         C             G               D
They were never that pleased on the land that they stood
         C              D         G           C
So they upped and they walked as far as they could
           G            D               C        G
'Til they felt the sun shine on their branches.

Chorus:
       Em         D               C           G
I was little boy lost, and I was little boy blue
      C            G             D                  G
I am little Jack Frost but I am warm through and through
         Em       C              G               C
It's not easy to hide when your heart's on full view
       G            D           C
Oh, tonight, cruel world, be forgiving
        G           D         G
Oh, for once in my life I am living.

Verse 2:
  G             Dsus4      C              G
There they did stand and there they did stay
            Em           C           G        D
When there came a young boy who was running away
        C            D            G          C
From a mad world, a bad world, a world of decay
          G           D               C        G
And it's comfort he sought in their branches.

Chorus:
       Em         D               C           G
I was little boy lost, and I was little boy blue
      C            G             D                  G
I am little Jack Frost but I am warm through and through
         Em       C              G               C
It's not easy to hide when your heart's on full view
       G            D           C
Oh, tonight, cruel world, be forgiving
        G           D         G
Oh, for once in my life I am living.

Verse 3:
 G             Dsus4      C             G
There he found love and there he found joy
         C             G            D                G
And the warmth in his heart oh, it filled the young boy
          C                 D         G          C
And his friends taught him magic and secrets of old
            G             D               C        G
While the trees kept him safe with their branches

Chorus:
       Em         D               C           G
I was little boy lost, and I was little boy blue

I am little Jack Frost but I am warm through and through

Oh, tonight, cruel world, be forgiving

       Em         D               C           G
I was little boy lost, and I was little boy blue
      C            G             D                  G
I am little Jack Frost but I am warm through and through
         Em       C              G               C
It's not easy to hide when your heart's on full view

Oh, tonight, cruel world be forgiving
