[G]
[C]
[G] In the forest, in the sunlight, in the untamed breeze,
[C] Like kings of [G] the earth, we [D] dance near [G] the trees.
I won your heart because [C] I knew [G] I could,
[C] And I left you there in [D] the wild, [G] my old boy.
I left you there [C] in the Eden [G] of God,
[C] Oh, [G] then when [C] your feet [D] are uncharred,
And I [G] still recall [Em] how straight [G] you stood,
[C] And I left [G] you there in [D] the wild, [G] my old boy.
Blessed to drift on [C] an [G] urban sea,
[C] But what you've [G] become is [D] [G] disturbingly.
I dream of eyes [C] with [G] dying flame,
[C] I [G] heard a night [D] bird call [G] your name.
I left you there [Em] in the Eden [G] of God,
[C] Oh, [G] then when [C] your feet [D] are uncharred,
And I [G] still recall [C] how straight [G] you stood,
[C] And I [G] left you there in [D] the wild, [G] my old boy.
[C] [G] [C] [G]
[A] [G]
[C] [G] [C]
[Bm] [G] I'm waiting now [C] like you [G] waited before,
[C] I waited long, [D] I'll wait some more.
[G] No gate's too tall, [C] no way's [G] too long,
[C] No game's too small, no [D] chain's too strong.
[G] I want to walk [Em] in the [G] Eden of God,
[C]
[G] Clothed in red, [C] my feet [D] uncharred,
And [G] I want to stand [C] where [G] angels stood,
[C]
And dance with you in the wild, [G] my old boy.
The stars are gone, the moon's gone too,
Must have given up on you.
As you slip away each hour by hour,
Are [C] you looking far well for [D] a [G] wildwood flower?
[D] [G]
[D]
[G] I want to stand [C] where [G] angels stood,
[C] And dance [G] with you [C] in the [D]
wild, my old [Em] boy.
