[A#]
[B]
[E] I was slowly passing an [A] orphan's home one day, [E] and stopped there for a moment just to [F#] watch the children [B] play.
[E] Alone a boy was standing, [A] and when I asked him why, [E] he turned with [A] eyes that could not see, [G#m] and he began to [E] cry.
I'm nobody's child, I'm [A] nobody's child.
[E] [B]
Like a flower just growing [E] wild, no mommy's kisses [A] and no daddy's smiles.
[B]
Nobody wants me, I'm
[D#] [E] nobody's child.
People come for children, [A] and take them for their own.
[E] But they all seem to pass me by, and [F#] I am left [B] alone.
[F#m] [E] I know they'd like to take me, [A] but when they see I'm blind, [E] they always take some [A] other child, [Em] and [B] I am left [E] behind.
No mother's arms to hold me, [A] or soothe me when I cry.
[E] Sometimes it gets so lonely, [F#] I wish that I [B] could die.
[E] I'd walk the streets of heaven, [A] where all the blind can't see.
And [E] just like all [A] the other kids, there'd [G#m]
be a [E] home for me.
I just can't seem to figure out [A]
why the folks all pass me by.
[B]
Because I know that it's true that God takes little blind children with [E] him in the sky.
And they tell me that I'm oh so pretty, [A] and they seem to like my big curls of gold.
[B] But then they take some other little child, [G] and I am [B] left [E] here all alone.
I'm nobody's child.
I'm nobody's [A] child.
[B] Like a flower, just growing [E]
wild.
No mommy's kisses, [A] and no daddy's smile.
[B] Nobody wants me.
I'm [E] nobody's
