[Verse]
   D                       G
As I was slowly passing an orphan's home one day

    D                                   E                 A
And stopped there for a moment just to watch the children play

 D                           G
Alone a boy was standing and when I asked him why

   D                     G                 A           D            
He turned with eyes that could not see and he began to cry
[Chorus]
    D                            G
I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child

A                               D
I'm like a flower just growing wild

D                     G
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile

 A                            D
Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child
[Verse]
D                            G
People come for children and take them for their own

    D                               E          A
But they all seem to pass me by and I am left alone

  D                               G
I know they'd like to take me but when they see I'm blind

     D                G               A           D                 
They always take some other child and I am left behind

   D                           G
No mother's arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry

    D                              E                 A               
Sometimes it gets so lonely here I wish that I could die

    D                                G
I'd walk the streets of heaven where all the blind can see

    D                 G                  A             D             
And just like all the other kids there'd be a home for me
[SPOKEN]
  D                                                        G         
I just can't seem to figure out, why the folks all pass me by

         A                                                                        D
'Cause I know that it's true that god takes little blind children with him in the sky

         D                                      G
And they tell me that I'm oh so pretty and they seem to like my big curls of gold

    A                                                                  
But then they take some other little child and I'm left here all alone
[Chorus]
    D                            G
I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child

A                               D
I'm like a flower just growing wild

D                     G
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile

 A                            D
Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child
