Little Boy Lost Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]In the far[A] New England ranges
Came the [D]word one fateful day
To [A]every town and village
That a [G]boy had lost his [D]way
All the [A]townsfolk quickly gathered
And the [D]wild bush horses tossed
As they [A]went to search the ranges
For the [G]little boy [D]lost
They went [A]out to search the ranges,
for the [G]little boy [D]lost.
A [A]lad of just four summers,
Stephen [D]Ward that was his name,
And [A]nobody doubts his courage,
for he's [G]hardy and he's [D]game.
Yet there's [A]danger in this country,
that [D]men have seldom crossed,
And they [A]wonder if they'll find alive
the [G]little boy [D]lost
Yes, they [A]wonder if they'll find alive
the [G]little boy [D]lost
Came the [A]night, came the [D]morning
Another [A]night, another [D]dawning
And a [G]mother weeps in silence
as she [D]kneels before the cross
As she [A]prays to God in heaven
for her [G]little boy [D]lost
And she [A]prays to God in heaven
for her [G]little boy [D]lost[Eb]
[Bb]That little town's deserted,
no one [Eb]walks upon the streets
As they [Bb]combed the wild bush country
on a [Ab]thousand aching [Eb]feet
They searched [Bb]every hidden valley,
though his [Eb]trail they never crossed
And their [Bb]hopes are slowly fading,
for the [Ab]little boy [Eb]lost
Yes, their [Bb]hopes are slowly fading,
for the [Ab]little boy [Eb]lost[E]
The [B]blazing sun beat down
upon the [E]earth that final day
With [B]heavy hearts they
prayed to God above
[A]to show the way[E]
When [B]from shrubby valley
came the [E]voice they ne 'er forgot
Where's my [B]daddy,
where's my daddy?
cried [A]the little boy [E]lost
And the [B]mother's prayers were answered,
for her [A]little boy lost.
