Chords for Karen Young - Nobody's Child - Lyrics by Daniel Cavanagh

_ [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 _ play
[D] Alone a boy was standing _ [G] and when I asked him why
_ [D] He turned with [G] eyes that could not see [A] [Db] and he began [D] to cry
_ [A] _ I'm _ [D] _ _
_ nobody's child, _ I'm _ _ [G] nobody's child
_ [A] Just like a flower _ _ _ I'm growing [D] wild
_ _ No _ [A] [D] mommy's kisses _ _ [G] and no daddy's smile
_ [A] _
Nobody _ wants me, I'm _ _ [D] nobody's _ child
[Bb] _ _
[Fm] _ [Bb] _ [Eb] People 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
They [Eb] _ always take [Ab] some other child [Bb] and I am left [Eb] behind
_ _ [Bb] I'm [Fm] _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ _
nobody's child, _ I'm _ nobody's [Ab] _ child
[Fm] Just _ like [Bb] a flower _ _ _ I'm growing [Eb] _ wild
_ No [Bb] mommy's [Eb] kisses _ _ [Ab] and no daddy's smile
_ [Bb] _ _
[Fm] Nobody [Bb] wants me, I'm _ nobody's [Eb] _ child
_ [B] _ _
[A] _ [B] [E] No mommy's arms to hold me [A] or soothe me when I cry
_ _ [E] Sometimes it gets so low _
_ _ [Gb] _ that I could [B] die
_ [E] I'd walk the streets of hell _ [A] where all the blind can see
_ [E] And just like all [A] the other kids [B] there'd be a home [E] for _ me
[B] _ _ [A] _ [B] [E] I'm _ nobody's child, _ I'm nobody's _ [A] _ child
[B] Just _ [Gbm] like a [B] flower _ _ I'm growing [E] wild
_ No _
[B] mommy's [E] kisses _ _ [A] and no _ daddy's smile
_ [B] _
Nobody _ wants me, I'm nobody's _ [E] _ _ child _ _
_ [A] _ [B] _ Nobody _ wants me, [Ab] [A] I'm _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [A] nobody's child _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
