[Intro]
B*
Long ago and far away in a land no 
map can find
There lived in long forgotten days a
         E     B  B  B  B
 boy who never cried

[Verse 1]
   B       G#m7     E    B      
He was his mother's only child, 
       B     F#7      E
so she never wondered why
  Em      B           Em          
Until the news spread far and wide
B             F#m   B
 of a boy who never cried

[Verse 2]
     Em      B         Em       
From fabled lands, the pilgrims 
B                  F#m    B
came to behold the silent child
     Em      B         Em       
In ancient tones, they sang his 
B               F#m    B
name over every lonely mile
           B         G#m7  
There were those who came in 
  E   B                 B    
reverence, there were those who 
     D#m      E
stood outside
    Em        B          Em    B
And whispered low in quatrains 
        B       F#m   B
dim of a boy who never cried

[Verse 3]
Em        B        Em      B   
Days grew long and short until 
            F#m       B
the seasons turned to years
    Em         B          Em     
The child grew strong and fairer 
B            B      F#m        B
still with a face unstained by tears
    B     G#m7     E      B     
And every maid and lady fair 
        B         G#m7      E
held her breath when he passed by
          Em      B        
For their mothers bid them all 
Em    B         B       F#m   B
beware of a man who never cries

       B     G#m7      E       B
And he lived alone for all his 
         B           G#m7   E
years and then on the day he died
   Em       B        Em    B    
He shed a single precious tear 
     B       F#m   B
for a boy who never 
cried.............
