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
