Album: Crying In The Chapel

Interpreted/Transcribed by Gary Willett (12 Mar 2006) Gmwns@aol.com

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
