Nobody's Child as recorded by Charlie Waller & The Country Gentlemen
Intro (E) (A) (B7) (E) – Follow pattern of first two lines in chorus
(E) As I was slowly passing an (A) orphan's home one day,
I (B7) thought I'd stop a little while just to watch the children (E) play
Alone a boy was standing and (A) when I asked him why
He (B7) turned with eyes that could not see and he began to (E) cry
Chorus
I'm nobody's child, I'm (A) nobody's child
(B7) I'm like a flower, just growing (E) wild
No mommy's kisses and (A) no daddy's smiles
(B7) Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's (E) child
Instrumental break 1 – Follow pattern of chorus
(E) People come for children and (A) take them for their own
But (B7) they all seem to pass me by and why I'll never (E) know
I know they want to take me, but (A) when they see I'm blind
They (B7) always pick some other child and I am left (E) behind
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental break 2 – Follow pattern of chorus
(E) No mommy's arms to hold me or (A) soothe me when I cry
Some (B7) times I feel so lonely, I wish that I could (E) die
I'd walk the streets of heaven where (A) all blind children see
Then (B7) I'd be like other kids, there'd be a place for (E) me
Repeat Chorus and slow down last line and end song
