CAPO 4
[Verse]
C Fmaj7
I was slowly passing an orphan's home one day
C D7 G G7
And stopped there for a moment just to watch the children play
C Fmaj7
Alone, a boy was standing and when I asked him why
C F G C
He turned with eyes that could not see and he began to cry
[CHORUS]
C C7 F
I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child
G C
I'm like a flower just growing wild
C C7 F
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile
G G7 C
Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child
[Verse]
C Fmaj7
People come for children and take them for their own
C D7 G G7
But they all seem to pass me by and I am left alone
C Fmaj7
I know they'd like to take me but when they see I'm blind
C F G C
They always take some other child and I am left behind
C Fmaj7
No mother's arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry
C D7 G G7
Sometimes it gets so lonely here I wish that I could die
C Fmaj7
I'd walk the streets of heaven where all the blind can see
C F G C
And just like all the other kids there'd be a home for me
[Spoken]
C Fmaj7
I just can't seem to figure out Why the folks all pass me by
G
Cause I know that it's true that god takes Little blind
C
children with him in the sky
C Fmaj7
And they tell me that I'm oh so pretty And they seem to
like my big curls of gold
G
But then they take some other little child And I'm left
C
here all alone
[CHORUS]
C C7 F
I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child
G C
I'm like a flower just growing wild
C C7 F
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile
G G7 C
Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child.
