[Verse 1]

Bb                                      Eb
In the wild New England ranges came the word one fateful day 
   Bb                            Ab              Eb
To every town and village that a boy had lost is way 
             Bb                            Eb
All the town folk quickly gathered and the wild bush horses tossed 
         Bb                                     Ab         Eb
And they went out to search the ranges for this little boy lost 
     Bb                                     Ab         Eb
They went out to search the ranges for this little boy lost

[Pre Chorus 1]

          Bb
Came the night 
         Eb
Came the mornin' 
        Bb
Another night 
         Eb
Another dawnin' 

[Chorus 1]

Ab                                   Eb
And a mother weeps in silence as she kneels before the cross 
        Ab               Bb            Ab         Eb               
And she prays to God in heaven for her little boy lost

[Verse 2]

Bb                                 Eb
The blazin' sun beat down upon the earth that final day 
         Bb                          Ab                    Eb
And with heavy hearts they prayed to God above to show the way 
                      Bb                              Eb
When from a scrubby gully came a voice they'd ne'er forgot 
           Bb                                 Ab         Eb
Where's my daddy, Where's my daddy, Cried the little boy lost 
           Bb                                 Ab          Eb
Where's my daddy, where's my daddy, Cried the little boy lost

[Verse 3]

       Bb                                Eb
In the wild New England ranges there's a boy that's known so well 
           Bb                              Am        Eb 
There's a story that the town folk and bushmen often tell 
       Bb                              Eb
How he fought the rugged country where man had seldom crossed 

Bb                                           Ab          Eb                         
And a mother's prayers were answered for her little boy lost
