Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][A][Em][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]As I was slowly passing
[G]an orphan's home [Gm]one d[G]ay
I [D]stopped for just a little while
[E]To watch the children [A]play
[D]Alone, a boy was standing
[G]When I asked him why
He [D]turned with eyes that could not [E]see
[A]An d he began to [D]cry
I'm nobody's child,
I'm nobody's [G]child
Just [A]like a flower, I'm growing [D]wild
I got no mommy's kisses,
I got [G]no daddy's smile
[D]Oh, wants me,
[E]I'm nob[A]ody's chi[D]ld[A][D]
No mommy's arms to hold me
Or soothe [G]me when I cry
Sometimes [D]it gets so lonesome,
yeah I wish [E]that I could die
[A]I'd walk the[D] streets of heaven
where [G]all the blind can see
And just [D]like all the other [E]kids,
[A]there'd be a home for [D]me[A][D]
People come for children
[G]And take them for their own
I [D]know they'd like to take me in
But I'm left [E]here [A]alone
[D]They say they like my curls of gold
[G]They like my eyes of blue
[D]But they always take some other [E]child
An[A]d I'm left here with y[D]ou
I'm nobody's child,
I'm nobody's [G]child
[A]Just like a flower, I'm growing [D]wild
I've got no [A]mommy's [D]kisses
[G]I've got no daddy's smile
Lord, [D]nobody wants [E]me
I'm [A]nobody's [D]child
