Intro G C Em D 

Verse 

G                               C 
Hey little boy, what have they done to you 
        Em                      D 
They disowned your soul and locked you away in the dark 
G                               C 
Oh little boy, no one paid attention to you 
        Em                      D 
When you cried out for help on the quest for your passionate spark 


Pre-Chorus 

Em 
In the thicket of repression 
D                                 G 
All the years you’ve been on your own 
Em 
Any kind of your expression  
D                                 G 
Trampled down between hearts of stone 


          D             G 
And with tears in your eyes 
      D          G 
You begin to realize 
                      C 
That now I can hear your voice 
      Em           D               G 
So finally it’s time for you to rejoice 

D G  


Verse 

G                               C 
Hey little boy, please give me your hand 
        Em                      D 
I show you the world and you teach me how to see it through your eyes  
G                               C 
Oh little boy, your life’s been so bland 
        Em                      D 
All the crap you’ve been made to believe in was built upon lies 


Pre-Chorus 

Em 
In the thicket of repression 
D                                 G 
All the years you’ve been on your own  
Em 
Any kind of your expression 
D                                 G 
Trampled down between hearts of stone 


          D             G 
And with tears in your eyes 
      D          G 
You begin to realize 
                      C 
That now I can hear your voice 
      Em           D               G 
So finally it’s time for you to rejoice

And with tears in your eyes 
      D          G 
You begin to realize 
                      C 
That now I can hear your voice
