 D                      A
Mountains of Lhasa are feeling the rain
 D                      A
People are walking the Botella lanes
  E                   D
Preacher takes the school
E                 D
One boy breaks a rule
            A                         G A
Silly Boy Blue, ooo blue, Silly Boy Blue

 D                       A
Yak butter statues that melt in the sun
 D                       A
Cannot dissolve all the work you've not done
    E             D
A chela likes to feel
         E                  D
That his overself pays the bill
            A    D    A    D              G A
Silly Boy Blue, ooo blue, ooo Silly Boy Blue

     F#m                G
You wish and wish, and wish again
       F#m                G
You've tried so hard to fly
        E                A
You'll never leave your body now
        E              G A
You've got to wait to die

 E                     B
La la la la la la la, la la la la
 E                     B
La la la la la la la, la la la la
 F#              E
La la la la la, La
 F#              E
La la la la la, La

Silly boy blue, blue, silly boy blue
Child of Tibet, you're a gift from the sun
Reincarnation of one better man
The homeward road is long
You've left your prayers and song
Silly boy blue, blue, silly boy blue
