August 4, 2003
GJimmy was a C/Gshadow the Gyoungest of three C/Gboys
GHow he longed to Dfeel the Clight
GJimmys older C/Gbrothers Gsure could make some C/Gnoise
GSo he became the Dquiet Ctype
BmBut deep in Cside he had some Gpowerful Cdreams
BmHe'd think a Cbout them then he'd Gsmile
And he was Ggone, Dgone, to C/Bsomewhere far be Cyond
Where Dhe was Gstrong, Dstrong, C/Bshining in the Csun
They Dsay that Bmsome Dday the Gmeekest heart will Csing
There was GJimmy Dwaiting in the GwingsC/G  G  C/G  
GSusie was a C/Gwaitress Gmorning noon and C/Gnight
GBut she never Ddid comp Clain
GJimmy'd stopped for C/Glunch there at Gleast a thousand C/Gtimes
GBut one Monday Dsomething Cchanged
BmShe leaned a Ccross him with some Gchocolate Cpie
BmThen he looked into her CeyesG  
And he was Ggone, Dgone, to C/Bsomewhere far be Cyond
His Dheart beat Gstrong Dstrong he C/Bknew she was the Cone
They Dsay that Bmsome Dday the Gmeekest heart will Csing
Love found GJimmy Dwaiting in the Gwings
BmAnd when he Gheld her for the Cvery first Dtime
BmHe found the Gone thing hed been C/Bmissing all his Clife
And they were Ggone, Dgone, to C/Bsomewhere far be Cyond
Their Dlove was Gstrong Dstrong C/Btwo hearts beat as Cone
He Dstood be Bmside Dher and Gshe put on his Cring
And when she Gsmiled Dhow his heart did Fsing
They Dsay that Bmsome Dday the Gmeekest heart will Csing
So C/Bre mCember if youre wDaiting in the wGings
