[Eb]
[Ab] [Bbm]
As [Ab] I was slowly passing [Db] an orphan's home one day, [Ab] I stopped there for a moment [Bb] just to
watch the [Eb] children [G] play.
[Cm] [Ab] Alone a boy was standing [Db] and when I asked him why, [Ab] he turned with eyes
that [Db] could not see, [Eb] and he [Cm] began [Ab] to cry.
I'm nobody's child, I'm [Db] nobody's child.
[Eb] I'm like a flower [G] [Eb] just [Ab] growing
wild.
No mommy's kisses [Db] and no daddy's smiles.
[Eb] Nobody wants me, I'm [Ab] nobody's child.
People come for children [Db] and
leave them all alone.
[Ab] They all seem to pass me by [Bb] and I am [Eb] left alone.
[Ab] I know they'd like to take me, [Db] but when they see I'm
blind.
[Ab] They always take [Db] some other child [Cm] and I'm [Ab] left behind.
I'm nobody's child, I'm [Db] nobody's child.
[Cm] [Eb] I'm like a flower just growing [Ab]
wild.
No [Eb] [Ab] mommy's kisses [Db] and no daddy's smiles.
[Eb] Nobody wants me, I'm [Ab] nobody's child.
[Eb]
[Ab]
[E] [A] No mommy's arms to hold me [D] and soothe me when I cry.
[A] Sometimes I feel so lonely [Bb] here, [B] I wish that I [E] could die.
[A] I'd walk the streets of heaven [D] where all the blind can see.
[A] And just like all [D] the other kids,
[E] they'd be a home [A] for me.
[E] [A] I'm nobody's child, I'm [D] nobody's child.
[E]
I'm like a flower [Bm] [E]
just growing [A] wild.
No mommy's kisses [D] and no daddy's
smiles.
[E]
Nobody wants me, [Bm] I'm [E] nobody's [A] [D] child.
