[A]
He stands in the rain begging for [E] change as people pass him by.
And once in a while he'll get an odd or a [A] smile with nickels and dimes.
But when the sun goes down on his part of town and a cold [Bm] wind blows, [E] he'll find his
way in the dark to a bench in the [A] park where no one knows someone used to rock him on their knees.
[Bm]
[E] And when he'd cry they'd sing him [A] lullabies till he was fast asleep.
They say he had his daddy's eyes, his mama's smile.
[Bm]
[E] Oh they liked him so, but that was long ago [A] when he was someone's child.
[F#m]
The word on the street is that he had a degree [E] and a big house anyway.
But when it comes to his past, don't bother to ask, [A] cause he's got nothing to say.
People frown and put him down, no one seems [Bm] to care that [E] there's one love down on his
luck [A] standing there.
[Bm] [E] And when he'd cry they'd sing him lullabies till [A] he was fast asleep.
They say he had his daddy's eyes, his mama's smile.
[Bm] Oh [E] they loved him so, but that was long ago when [A] he was someone's child.
[Bm] Then the flashing lights light up the night and the sirens craze.
And as he breathes his last he [D] drops a photograph [F#m] that no one's ever [E] seen.
They say he [A] had his daddy's eyes, his mama's smile.
