[Verse 1]
E E7 A
As I was slowly passing an orphan's home today
B7 E
I'd stop for just a little while to watch the children play
E7 A
Alone, a boy was standing, and when I asked him why
B7 E
He turned with eyes that could not see and he began to cry
[Chorus]
E E7 A B7 E
I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child, Just like a flower, I'm growing wild
E7 A B7 E
No mama's arms to hold me no daddy's smiles Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child
B7 E

[Verse 2]
E E7 A
In every town and village there are places just like this
B7 E
With rows and rows of children babys in their cribs
E7 A
They've long since stopped their crying cause no one ever hears
B7 E
And no one's there to notice them or take away their tears
[Chorus]
E E7 A B7 E
Nobody's child, nobody's child, Just like a flower, their growing wild
E7 A B7 E
Got no mommies kisses no daddy's smiles Nobody wants them, their nobody's child
E E7 A B7 E
Nobody's child, their nobody's child, Just like a flower, their growing wild
E7 A B7 E
No mama's kisses no daddy's smiles Nobody wants them, their nobody's child
B7 N.C. E
Nobody wants them.. their no__body's child
