Chords with lyrics

Verse:
G+G             D7D7   G+G
"No home, no home," said a little girl
    D7D7    C majorC     G+G
At the door of a rich man's home
       C majorC      G+G
She trembling stood on the marble steps
         D7D7    G+G
And leaned on the polished wall

  G+G             D7D7    G+G
Her clothes were thin and her feet were bare
    D7D7     C majorC      G+G
And the snowflakes covered her head
       C majorC    G+G
"Let me come in," she feebly said
         D7D7   G+G
"Please give me a little bread"

    G+G         D7D7    G+G
As the little girl still trembling stood
 D7D7    C majorC     G+G
Before that rich man's door
        C majorC    G+G
With a frowning face he scornfully said
       D7D7      G+G
"No room, no bread for the poor"

     G+G          D7D7    G+G
Then the rich man went to his table so fine
   D7D7     C majorC      G+G
Where he and his family were fed
        C majorC      G+G
And the orphan stood in the snow so deep
          D7D7    G+G
As she cried for a piece of bread

  G+G           D7D7   G+G
The rich man slept on his velvet couch
    D7D7       C majorC     G+G
And he dreamed of his silver and gold
         C majorC    G+G
While the orphan lay in a bed of snow
         D7D7    G+G
And murmured, "So cold, so cold"

  G+G              D7D7    G+G
The hours rolled on through the midnight storm
    D7D7    C majorC    G+G
Rolled on like a funeral bell
        C majorC     G+G
The sleet came down in a blinding sheet
         D7D7     G+G
And the drifting snow still fell

   G+G        D7D7   G+G
When morning came the little girl
   D7D7     C majorC     G+G
Still lay at the rich man's door
         C majorC   G+G
But her soul had fled away to its home
            D7D7          G+G
