Orphan chords by Pete Bernhard

Chords with lyrics

G+G
called a friend the other day
  D7D7
to see what kind of words hed say
      C majorC          D7D7           G+G
he said, "I just met a man down here and his girlfriend dont like you"

So give me a number, her address
  D7D7
and Ill see if I can do my best
  C majorC         D7D7       G+G
to avoid her the next time Im passing through

Never been much for following rules
 D7D7
always go out and act the fool
  C majorC          D7D7      G+G
and something bad would happen by and by

I cant say Im always proud of myself
   D7D7
But I dont wish I was somebody else
 C majorC       D7D7     G+G
Infact Id rather be me then you

   G+G   F#F#     FF  D7D7
But a lot of people dont like me
    C majorC   D7D7      G+G
not my music I hear; personally
                   D7D7
gonna tell you how to act and what to say
      C majorC      D7D7      G+G
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave
      C majorC       A7A7      D7D7
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave


    G+G
Well I went to a party in the middle of the night
D7D7
crawling up the stairs and thats alright
 C majorC             D7D7          G+G
I pictured the who place in flames and it made me smile

I wonder why I thought such terrible things
 D7D7
a voice in my head heard the telephone ring
    C majorC            D7D7       G+G
picked up and said, "weve been wondering for a while"

Walked in a wall, spelt in the dirt
  D7D7
got punched in the face I admit that it hurt
   C majorC         D7D7    G+G
and I had enemies that I call my friends

But it dosnt matter if I get low down
    D7D7
because Im the one riding on the hear right now
   C majorC        D7D7      G+G
and all I gotta do is use my imagination

   G+G   F#F#     FF  D7D7
But a lot of people dont like me
    C majorC   D7D7      G+G
not my music I hear; personally
                   D7D7
gonna tell you how to act and what to say
      C majorC      D7D7      G+G
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave
      C majorC       A7A7      D7D7
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave

 G+G
Well theres been sometimes I was under the gun
  D7D7
and when I was I intended to run
    C majorC           D7D7     G+G
it was important but it wasnt worth dying for

someone said he who fights and runs away
  D7D7
can avoid getting killed another day
  C majorC           D7D7        G+G
so I made a point of every window and every door

but all these people they gather round
  D7D7
my heart goes backwards my head drops down
 C majorC         D7D7        G+G
I hear my voice say things I told it not to

Couldn't say who it was directed at
  D7D7
and why I chose to say something like that
  C majorC     D7D7      G+G
and now what I truly plan to do


   G+G   F#F#     FF  D7D7
But a lot of people dont like me
    C majorC    D7D7     G+G
what i hear now out on the street
                   D7D7
gonna tell you how to act and what to say
      C majorC      D7D7      G+G
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave
      C majorC      D7D7      G+G
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave
      C majorC      A7A7      D7D7
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave
