The Boy Who Cried Wolf

A             E
Well I am the boy who cried wolf
    C                       G
And I know I've lied in the past
    A            E       C       
But last night I saw his yellow 
                   G
eyes shining in the dark
      A                            
Yeah I know I've spun tales with 
  E
his voice
      C                 G
And I open my mouth too fast
    A            E       C       
But last night I saw his 
          G
footprints in the path

     Em6                C/E    
Well I could swim every sea from 
                G6
south pole to north
    Em6                   C/E     
But I know I'll only ever be the 
             G
boy who cried wolf

A             E
Well I am the shepherds only son
    C                       G
And I know what a joke I've become;
          A      E         C     
I have an honest heart but I have
            G
 lies on my tongue
  A                             
I don't know how this started or 
 E
where it came from
    C                      G
And you have no reason and I have no
 proof
    A           E          C     
But this time I swear, I'm 
      G
telling the truth
  A                       E
I saw that old wolf, from tail to 
tooth
      C                            
And I know that he's hungry and 
  G
he's coming down too

     Em6                C/E    
Well I could swim every sea from 
                G6
south pole to north
    Em6                 C/E       
And I could climb every tree, and 
            G6
scale every coarse
     E                     C   
Well I could tell only the truth 
                G
from this day forth
    Em6                   C/E     
But I know I'll only ever be the 
             G6
boy who cried wolf

         Em                    G
Oh, oh I am the boy who cried wolf
Em6          C/E           G6
Oh, I am the boy who cried wolf
