[B]
[E]
I was slowly passing [A] an 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 [E] to cry.
I'm nobody's child, I'm [A] nobody's child, [B] I'm 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 [B] left alone.
[F#m] [E] I know they'd like to take me, [A] but when they see I'm blind,
they [E] always take [A] some other child, [B] and I am [E] left behind.
No mother's arms to hold me, [A] or soothe me when I cry.
[E] Sometimes it gets so lonely here, [F#] I wish that I [B] could die.
[E] I'd walk the streets of heaven, [A] where all the blind can see,
[E] and just like [A] all the other kids, [G#m] there'd be a home [E] 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, and I'm left [E] here all alone.
I'm nobody's child.
I'm [A] nobody's child.
[B] I'm like a flower just [E] growing wild.
No mommy's kisses, [A] and no daddy's smile.
[B] Nobody wants me.
I'm [E] nobody's child.
[N]
