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’
