After using this gold mine of a web site, I figured it was time to give

back some.

I pretty much worked out all the songs on Welch's album, just need to spend

some time writtin'em out. Here's the first. CR

ORPHAN GIRL by Gillian Welch

From the album: Revival Produced by T-Bone Burnett 1996 Almo Souds Inc.

Song is in the key of G#

G

I am an orphan

D

On God's highway

G

But I'll share my troubles

C

You go my way

G

I have no mother

D G

No father, no sister

C

No brother

G D G

I am an orphan girl

I have had friendships

Pure and golden

But the ties of kinship

I have not known them

I know no mother

NO father, no sister

No brother

I am an orphan girl

(inst. break)

But when He calls me

I will be able

To meet my family

At God's table

I'll meet my mother

My father, my sister

My brother

No more an orphan girl

(inst. break)

Blessed savior

Make me willing

And walk beside me

Until I'm with them

Be my mother

My father, my sister

My brother

G D

I am an orphan girl

G D C G

I am an orphan girl
