GHere is a tDsus4ale of the tCrees in a wGood
They were neEmver that plCeased on the lGand that they stDood
So they uCpped and they wDalked as fGar as they cCould
'Til they fGelt the sun sDhine on their brCanches.G

I was lEmittle boy lDost, and I was lCittle boy blGue
I am lCittle Jack FrGost but I am wDarm through and thrGough
It's not Emeasy to hCide when your hGeart's on full vCiew
Oh, tonGight, cruel wDorld, be forCgiving
Oh, for Gonce in my lDife I am lGiving.
[Verse 2]
ThGere they did sDsus4tand and thCere they did stGay
When there cEmame a young bCoy who was rGunning awDay
From a mCad world, a bDad world, a wGorld of decCay
And it's cGomfort he soDught in their brCanches.G  
[Chorus]
I was lEmittle boy lDost, and I was lCittle boy blGue

While the trGees kept him sDafe with their bCranchesG

Csus2 Dsus4 Gsus4

| | x 3

[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

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

[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.
