Phil Coulter Scorn Not his Simplicity Chords

_ Songwriters will tell you that a performer can pay no greater compliment to them than to perform
Or to record one of the songs and last year
I had a great thrill when I was producing the current album by Sinead O'Connor
when she
Recorded this song and she brought a whole new
Life to it and a whole new female frailty to it.
I suppose but breathe new life into the song
_ Tonight's I dedicate it to any of you who in your own family life have encountered that particular cross
of a handicapped child

_ _ _ See the child _
With the golden hair [F] yet eyes that show the emptiness
inside
_ _ [G] Do we know _
Can we understand [C] just how he feels [F] or have we [C] really tried?
_ _ _ See him now
As he stands alone [Dm] and watches children play a children's game

He looks [C] almost like the others [F] yet.
They know he's [C] not the same

Not recognizing [F] that kind face that only yesterday

Of a mother [C] who can't understand what she's been guilty of _ _
_ How she cried
tears of happiness
[F] The day the doctor told her it's a boy _ _
[G] _ _ Now she cries
tears of [C] helplessness and thinks [F] of all the things [C] he can't enjoy _ _
