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
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
