Jimmy was a shadow the youngest of three boys
G D C
How he longed to feel the light
G C/G G C/G
Jimmys older brothers sure could make some noise
G D C
So he became the quiet type
Bm C G C
But deep in side he had some powerful dreams
Bm C G
He'd think a bout them then he'd smile
G D C/B C
And he was gone, gone, to somewhere far be yond
D G D C/B C
Where he was strong, strong, shining in the sun
D Bm D G C
They say that some day the meekest heart will sing
G D G C/G G C/G
There was Jimmy waiting in the wings
G C/G G C/G
Susie was a waitress morning noon and night
G D C
But she never did comp lain
G C/G G C/G
Jimmy'd stopped for lunch there at least a thousand times
G D C
But one Monday something changed
Bm C G C
She leaned a cross him with some chocolate pie
Bm C G
Then he looked into her eyes
G D C/B C
And he was gone, gone, to somewhere far be yond
D G D C/B C
His heart beat strong strong he knew she was the one
D Bm D G C
They say that some day the meekest heart will sing
G D G
Love found Jimmy waiting in the wings
Bm G C D
And when he held her for the very first time
Bm G C/B C
He found the one thing hed been missing all his life
G D C/B C
And they were gone, gone, to somewhere far be yond
D G D C/B C
Their love was strong strong two hearts beat as one
D Bm D G C
He stood be side her and she put on his ring
G D F
And when she smiled how his heart did sing
D Bm D G C
They say that some day the meekest heart will sing
C/B C D G
So re member if youre waiting in the wings
