"Just A Boy"
-- Paul Stanley, Bob Ezrin

[Rhythm Fig. 1]

[Rhythm Fig. 2]
Who steers the ship through the stormy sea
If hope is lost then so are we

[Rhythm Fig. 3] w/[Riff. 1]
While some eyes search for one to guide us
Some are staring at me

[Rhythm Fig. 4] w/[Rhythm Fig. 4a]
But I'm no hero
Though I wish I could be
[Rhythm Fig. 5] w/[Rhythm Fig. 5a]
For I am just a boy,
Too young to be sailing
I am just a boy,
And my future is unveiling
And I'm so frightened of failing

[Solo. 1] w/[Solo. 2] w/[Rhythm Fig. 2]

[Rhythm Fig. 3] w/[Riff. 1]
While some eyes search for one to guide us
Some are staring at me

[Rhythm Fig. 4] w/[Rhythm Fig. 4a]
But I'm no hero
Though I wish I could be
[Rhythm Fig. 5 w/end. 1] w/[Rhythm Fig. 5a w/end. 1] & [Riff. 2]
For I am just a boy,
Too young to be sailing
I am just a boy,
And my future is unveiling
And I'm so frightened of failing
