Bitter Boy

(início)

C                   F    C
There was a boy, a bitter boy,
             Am           G
Who's golden heart I saw gleaming,
              C         F   C
I thought I'd win the heart within,
           Am              G C
But now I know that I was dreaming.
C                    F     C
But I will rise, and I will sing,
          Am          G
Until the day I can't conceal it,
          C         F     C
Because I hold the saddest song,
              G              F C
And I wish to God I cannot feel it.
C                   F    C
Then the boy, the bitter boy,
           Am              G
He came to me for rest and healing,
                   C           F     C
He reached in his chest, deep in his breast,
             Am                   G C
Held out the heart for me still gleaming.
C                     F     C
But I will rise, and I will sing,
          Am          G
Until the day I can't conceal it,
          C      F     C
Because I hold the saddest song,
              G              F C
And I wish to God I cannot feel it.
C                 F     C
Then the boy, me and the boy,
              Am                 G
We walked for miles through stormy weather,
         C        F          C
Hand in hand, we roamed the land,
             Am       G      C
And held the gleaming heart together.
C                    F     C
But I will rise, and I will sing,
          Am          G
Until the day I can't conceal it,
            C         F     C
Because I hold the saddest song,
               G            F C
And I wish to God I cannot feel it.
C                  F     C
Then the boy, the bitter boy,
           Am                G
He came to take the gleaming treasure,
                  C           F   C
He reached in my chest, deep in my breast,
             Am       G      C
And took the gleaming heart forever.
C                    F     C
But I will rise, and I will sing,
          Am            G
Until the day I can't conceal it,
          C         F     C
Because I hold the saddest song,
              G              F C
And I wish to God I cannot feel it.
