Start Jamming...
[A]
Alone, as I sit and watch the [D] trees.
Won't you tell me if I scream, will they bend down [A] and listen to me?
And it [B] makes me wonder, [Bm] if I [A] know the words when you're gone.
[G] Will you laugh at me, or will I [D] run?
[B]
Little boy, little boy, [D] [B] little boy, little boy.
Little boy, says to me, where you going now son?
I [E] said, I don't know where I'm going boy, [A] I only know where I'm from.
And it [Bm] makes me wonder, if the [A] stars shine when my eyes close.
Or do [G] my brother's heart cry, I don't know.
[D] [G] I'm a stranger in my [D] home, [G] now that everybody's [D] gone.
[G] Someone please talk to me, [Bm] cause I feel you cry.
And [A] you're sitting with him, and [G] I know I'll never see you again.
[B]
Little boy, [D] little boy, [E]
[A] little boy, [B] little boy.
Lying down and tossing under the Carolina sky.
You see [D] I'm tired of feeling this pain.
I'm [A] tired of living my whole little life.
And it makes [Bm] me wonder, when [A] I see you in my dreams.
Does [G] it mean anything, or are you trying to talk [D] to me?
[G] I'm a stranger in my [D] home.
[G] Tell me are you feeling [D] alone?
[G] Someone tell me what to do, [Bm] cause I'm feeling strong.
[A] And I wonder how you feel.
Have [G] you realized, my pain is for [E] real?
I see you in my [Bm] dreams.
[A] And I wonder if you're looking out at me and smiling [Bm] right now.
Oh, and [G] I wonder if it's true.
[Bm] When he looks at me, won't you tell me?
[D] Does he realize, [A] he came down here, he took you too soon?
No. No.
[E] [B]
Oh, [D]
[B] Lord.
And now my days are short and my nights are long.
I lay down with memories of you.
They keep me going on, going on, and it makes [Bm] me wonder.
[A] And I sit and stare, will I see [G] your face again?
Tell me, do you [D] care?
[G] I'm a stranger in my home.
[G] Living life all by my [D] own.
[G] Right now I just can't sleep, [Bm] cause I'm feeling weak.
And [A] my soul begins to bleed.
Oh, and no one's listening to [D] me, not even the trees.
[B]
Oh, Lord.
[B]
[E] [B]
You're so [D] good.
[B]
You're so good.
[D]
