Orphan chords by Pete Bernhard

G
called a friend the other day
   D7
to see what kind of words hed say
            C                   D7                     G
he said, "I just met a man down here and his girlfriend dont like you"

So give me a number, her address
    D7
and Ill see if I can do my best
    C                 D7              G
to avoid her the next time Im passing through

Never been much for following rules
 D7
always go out and act the fool
    C                   D7            G
and something bad would happen by and by

I cant say Im always proud of myself
      D7
But I dont wish I was somebody else
  C              D7         G
Infact Id rather be me then you


      G      F#          F    D7
But a lot of people dont like me
        C      D7           G
not my music I hear; personally
                                     D7
gonna tell you how to act and what to say
           C            D7            G
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave
           C             A7            D7
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave


       G
Well I went to a party in the middle of the night
D7
crawling up the stairs and thats alright
  C                         D7                    G
I pictured the who place in flames and it made me smile

I wonder why I thought such terrible things
  D7
a voice in my head heard the telephone ring
       C                       D7              G
picked up and said, "weve been wondering for a while"

Walked in a wall, spelt in the dirt
    D7
got punched in the face I admit that it hurt
     C                 D7        G
and I had enemies that I call my friends

But it dosnt matter if I get low down
        D7
because Im the one riding on the hear right now
     C                D7           G
and all I gotta do is use my imagination


     G      F#          F    D7
But a lot of people dont like me
        C      D7           G
not my music I hear; personally
                                     D7
gonna tell you how to act and what to say
           C            D7            G
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave
           C             A7            D7
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave

 G
Well theres been sometimes I was under the gun
    D7
and when I was I intended to run
       C                      D7          G
it was important but it wasnt worth dying for

someone said he who fights and runs away
    D7
can avoid getting killed another day
    C                      D7               G
so I made a point of every window and every door

but all these people they gather round
   D7
my heart goes backwards my head drops down
  C                 D7                G
I hear my voice say things I told it not to

Couldn't say who it was directed at
    D7
and why I chose to say something like that
    C          D7            G
and now what I truly plan to do


     G      F#          F    D7
But a lot of people dont like me
        C       D7          G
what i hear now out on the street
                                     D7
gonna tell you how to act and what to say
           C            D7            G
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave
           C            D7            G
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave
           C            A7            D7
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave
