[Verse 1]
C
See the child with the golden hair
Dm F
but eyes that show the emptiness inside
G
Do we know can we understand
C G
just how he feels or have we really tried
C
See him now as he stands alone
Dm F
and watches children playing a children's game
G C
Simple child he looks almost like the others
C G
yet they know he's not the same
[Refrain]
Am Fm
Scorn not his simplicity
C
but rather try to love him all the more
Am Fm G F Em G
Scorn not his simplicity oh no oh no
[Verse 2]
C
See him stare not recognizing
Dm F
that kind face that only yesterday he loved
G
The loving face of a mother
C G
who cant understand what she's guilty of
C
How she cried tears of happiness
Dm F
the day the doctor told her it's a boy
G
Now she cries tears of helplessness
C G
and thinks of all the things he cannot enjoy
[Refrain]
Am Fm
Scorn not his simplicity
C
but rather try to love him all the more
Am Fm G F Em G
Scorn not his simplicity oh no oh no
[music as per lines 1 = d of verse]
C Dm F G C G
[Verse 4]
C
Only he knows how to face
Dm F
the future hopefully surrounded by despair
G C
He wont ask for your pity or your sympathy
G
but surly you must care
[Refrain]
Am Fm
Scorn not his simplicity
C
but rather try to love him all the more
Am Fm G F Em G C
Scorn not his simplicity oh no oh no
