     On a silent night tryin’ not to show
     C                  D        G
     Who goes where and who goes when
              F                                   G

     Little Boy Blue can’t be sold
     C                    D       G

              F                                     G

             A                          D     G    
     And the ones who know hope they’re doin’ wrong

     Transvaal kids on a Transvaal day
     C                              G

          C                  D     G
     To a city of dreams and solid ground
              F                                G
