Chords for Nobody's Child (1969) - KAREN YOUNG - Lyrics

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