CAPO 4

Verse:

C majorC             Fmaj7Fmaj7
I was slowly passing an orphan's home one day
  C majorC                  D7D7         G+G G7G7
And stopped there for a moment just to watch the children play
  C majorC              Fmaj7Fmaj7
Alone a boy was standing and when I asked him why
   C majorC          FF        G+G      C majorC
He turned with eyes that could not see and he began to cry


CHORUS:

   C majorC          C7C7    FF
I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child
 G+G                C majorC
I'm like a flower just growing wild
  C majorC         C7C7      FF
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile
 G+G          G7G7    C majorC
Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child

Verse:

 C majorC              Fmaj7Fmaj7
People come for children and take them for their own
   C majorC               D7D7     G+G G7G7
But they all seem to pass me by and I am left alone
 C majorC                 Fmaj7Fmaj7
I know they'd like to take me but when they see I'm blind
    C majorC        FF       G+G      C majorC
They always take some other child and I am left behind

 C majorC               Fmaj7Fmaj7
No mother's arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry
 C majorC                 D7D7        G+G
Sometimes it gets so lonely here I wish that I could die
   C majorC                Fmaj7Fmaj7
I'd walk the streets of heaven where all the blind can see
   C majorC         FF        G+G       C majorC
And just like all the other kids there'd be a home for me


Spoken:

     C majorC                        Fmaj7Fmaj7
I just can't seem to figure out Why the folks all pass me by
   G+G
Cause I know that it's true that god takes Little blind
  C majorC
children with him in the sky

C majorC                      Fmaj7Fmaj7
And they tell me that I'm oh so pretty And they seem to

like my big curls of gold
   G+G
But then they take some other little child And I'm left
      C majorC
here all alone


CHORUS:

   C majorC          C7C7    FF
I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child
 G+G                C majorC
I'm like a flower just growing wild
  C majorC         C7C7      FF
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile
 G+G          G7G7     C majorC
