Little Paper Boy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][Em][G][C]

[Verse 1]
Out on the [C]corner
[G]standin' so bold
Stood a little paper boy
so hungry and [C]cold
And as the crowd came [G]passin' by
These words he said with
tears in his [C]eyes

[Verse 2]
"Please [C]buy a pa[G]per from me
So I can get me somethin' to [C]eat
My clothes are ragged,
no [G]shoes on my feet"
Said the little paper boy,
there on the [C]street

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][Em][G][C]

[Verse 3]
[C]"Out in this cold wide [G]world all alone
I have no place on this earth to call [C]home
I haven't had the chance that [G]other kids had
I have no mother,
nor even [C]a dad"

[Verse 4]
[C]"So please buy a pa[G]per from me
So I can get me somethin' to [C]eat
My clothes are ragged,
no [G]shoes on my feet"
Said the little paper boy,
there on [C]the street

[Verse 5]
[C]Early next mornin' as the
[G]crowd passed by
The little boy was gone
and they wondered [C]why
They started searchin' and
[G]then found him dead
He died with the papers under his [C]head

[Verse 6]
[C]No one was there, his [G]body to claim
There he was lying but he felt [C]no pain
Now he has gone up to [G]Heaven we know
The little paper boy who died in
[C]the snow[G][Em][G][C]
There ya have it, friends
