Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]Long ago and far away
In a land no map can find
[Cm]There lived in [G]long forgotten days
A boy [C]who nev[Cm]er cr[G]ied
He was his mother's [C]only [G]child
So she never wondered [C]why
Un[Cm]til the news s[G]pread far [Dm]and w[G]ide
[F]Of a boy[G] who nev[Dm]er cried
[G][Dm]

[Verse 2]
[G]
From [Cm]fabled [G]lands the pil
[Dm]grim[G]s came
To behold [Dm]the silent [G]child
In [Cm]ancient [G]tones they [Dm]sang [G]his name
Over every [Dm]lonely [G]mile
There were those who [Bm]came
[G]in rev[C]erence[G]
There were those who [Bm]stood [G]outside
[C]And[Cm] whispered low in q[G]uatrains d[Dm]im[G]
Of a boy who [Dm]never cried
[G][Dm][G]

[Verse 3]
[C]Days [G]grew long and [Dm]short until
[G]The seasons tur[Dm]ned to yea[G]rs
[Cm]The child grew [G]strong and [Dm]fairer [G]still
With a face [Dm]unstained by [G]tears
And every maid and [C]lady [G]fair
Held her breath when he passed [C]by
[Cm]For their mothers bid [G]them
[Dm]all [G]beware
Of a man who [Dm]never cries

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G][Bm]
[G][C][Cm][G][Dm][G][Dm][G]

[Verse 4]
He [G]lived alone for [C]all his [G]years
And then on the [Bm]day he d[C]ied
[Cm]He shed a si[G]ngle preciou[Dm]s tear
[G]for a boy who nev[Dm]er cried
[G][Dm][G]
