There was a boy, a bitt[F]er boy,[C][F][C]
Whose [Am]golden he[F]art I saw [C]gleami[G]ng.
I [F]thought I'd [C]win the [F]heart wi[C]thin,
But [Am]now I [F]know that I was [G]dream[C]ing.
But [F]I will [C]rise, and [F]I will[C] sing,
Un[Am]til I kno[F]w I can't con[C]ceal i[G]t.
Be[F]cause I [C]hold the [F]saddest s[C]ong,
I [F]wish to G[G]od I cannot [F]feel [C]it.
[F] [C]
And [F]then the b[C]oy, the [F]bitter b[C]oy,
He [Am]came to m[F]e for rest and [C]heal[G]ing.
He reached [F]in his [C]chest, deep [F]in his [C]breast,
Held [Am]out the h[F]eart for me stil [G]gleam[C]ing.
But I[F] will [C]rise, and I[F] wil[C]l sing,
Unt[Am]il I kn[F]ow I can't con[C]ceal i[G]t.
Be[F]cause I [C]hold the [F]saddest s[C]ong,
I [F]wish to G[G]od I cannot [F]feel [C]it.
-Solo-
[F] [C] [F] [C] [Am] [F] [C] [G] [F] [C] [F] [C] [F] [G][F][C]
And [F]then the b[C]oy, me [F]and the b[C]oy,
We [Am]walked for m[F]iles through stor[C]my wea[G]ther.
And [F]hand in[C] hand, we [F]roamed the [C]land,
And [Am]held the gle[F]aming heart to[G]geth[C]er.
But I[F] will [C]rise, and I[F] will [C]sing,
Un[Am]til I kn[F]ow I can't con[C]ceal [G]it.
Be[F]cause I [C]hold the [F]saddest s[C]ong,
I [F]wish to G[G]od I cannot [F]feel [C]it.
[F]Then the b[C]oy, the [F]bitter b[C]oy,
He [Am]came to t[F]ake the gleaming[C] treasur[G]e.
He reached [F]in my[C] chest, deep [F]in my[C] breast,
And [Am]took the gle[F]aming heart fo[G]rever[C].
But [F]I will r[C]ise, and I[F] will[C] sing,
Un[Am]til the d[F]ay I can't con[C]ceal i[G]t.
And [F]then I'll [C]sing the [F]saddest s[C]ong,
And [F]wish to G[G]od you cannot [F]hear [C]it.
Oh, then I'll [C]sing the saddest [C]song,
I wish to G[G]od you cannot [F]hear [C]it.
Whose [Am]golden he[F]art I saw [C]gleami[G]ng.
I [F]thought I'd [C]win the [F]heart wi[C]thin,
