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
[Refrão] 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

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
[Refrão] 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
