Luke Kelly - Scorn Not His Simplicity Chords

[F] [B] Lukey, do you remember that lovely [Ab] song that Phil Coulter wrote?
Very personal song for him.
Agreed.
This one, _ I think your recording of it, was the definitive recording of it and it should be left at that.
But seeing as there's just a few of us sitting [C] around here, would you mind singing it?
Scorn not of simplicity.
Thank you Jim.
Desi, John, would you give me a C chord please? _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ See the child with the golden hair
[F] But eyes that show the emptiness _ _ inside
[G] _ Do we know, _ can we understand [C] just how he feels
Or have we really tried?
_ _ See him now, as he stands alone
[F] And watches children play a children's game
_ _ [G] Simple child
He looks [C] almost like the others
Yet they know he's not the [Em] same
[Am] Scorn _ [Fm] not his simplicity
[C] But rather try to love him all the _ [Em] more
[Am] _ _ Scorn [Fm] not his simplicity
[G] Oh no, _ [Em] oh [G] no
_ [C] See him stare, not recognizing [F] that kind face
That only yesterday he loved
[Dm] The [G] _ loving face of a mother
[C] Who can't understand what she's been guilty of _
_ _ Now she cries _ tears of happiness
[F] The day the doctor told her it's a boy _
_ [G] Now she cries tears of [C] helplessness
Of all the things he can't _ [Em] enjoy
[Am] Scorn not [Fm] his simplicity
[D] [C] But rather try to love him all the _ more
[Am] _ Scorn [Ab] [Fm] not his simplicity
[G] Oh no, _ oh no _
_ [C] Only _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ he knows how to face the [Dm] future
When we are hopefully [F] surrounded by despair
He [G] _ won't _ ask for your pity [C] or your sympathy
But surely you must _ _ [Am] care
Scorn not [Fm] _ his simplicity
[C] But rather try to [F] love him [C] all the _ [Em] more
[Am] Scorn _ _ [Fm] not his simplicity
[G] Oh no, _ [Em] oh no
[G] _ [C] Oh no _ _ _ _ _
