Somebody Nobody Knows
K. Kristofferson
Key: D
INTRO: A G D
D D7
Alone in a barroom a young girl is sitting
G D
And smiling at nothing at all
A
And she stares now and then at the eyes of the men
D
In the mirror that hangs on the wall
She's waiting for someone and knowing there's no one
Who cares if she comes or she goes
Just a soul in the shadows the world never sees
She's somebody nobody knows
CHORUS:
G A D
Someone no one's ever known
A G D D7
Crying where no one can hear
G D
Somebody's dying alone
A D
In a city where nobody cares
Down in the gutter an old man had fallen
Like something the world threw away
And the late crowd was leaving and nobody even
Took time to look down where he lay
The old man was crying and helplessly trying
To wipe off the stain from his clothes
Just a soul in the shadows that life left behind
He's somebody nobody knows
CHORUS
