Once there was a boy who left the bed he slept in. 
F#m                                    C#maj7 
And he ran away 'cause he felt life was cruel. 
            Dm                        Bm 
A killer of fools was walking close behind him. 
                        F#m               C#m   F# 
The boy was afraid that he'd be thought a fool. 
 
       D               Bm 
Oh the foolkiller is a giant they say. 
   D                        G           D     D7 
He chops down a fool and he goes on his wa-ay-ay. 
G              F#m    G          F#m  
Better runaway boy was a runaway boy. 
     G    A    F#m 
Very much like you. 
 
So he climed the hills and roamed the woods and valleys. 
Just get up and go became his golden rule. 
A killer of fools was walking in the shadows. 
The boy was afraid that he'd be thought a fool. 
 
Then there came a day a man and woman found him. 
Lovingly they smiled and then they called him son. 
No more did he fear that wicked old fool killer. 
I know that it's true because I was the one 
 
Oh the foolkiller is a giant they say. 
He chops down a fool and he goes on his wa-ay-ay. 
Well who was the fool tell me the boy in his bed 
Or the boy who used to roam 
 
Runaway boy listen, runaway boy better go on home.
