DON'T LAUGH AT ME
sung by Peter, Paul and Mary
from (Steve Seskin/Allen Shamblin)
D
I'm a little boy with glasses
The one they call a geek
Bm
A little girl who never smiles
'Cause I have braces on my teeth
G D/F# Em A
And I know how it feels to cry myself to sleep
D
I'm that kid on every playground
Who's always chosen last
Bm
A single teenage mother
Tryin' to overcome my past
G D/F# Em
You don't have to be my friend
A
But is it too much to ask
D
Don't laugh at me
Bm
Don't call me names
G A
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
D Bm
In God's eyes we're all the same
G A
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
D
Don't laugh at me
D
I'm the beggar on the corner
You've passed me on the street
Bm
And I wouldn't be out here beggin'
If I had enough to eat
G D/F# Em
And don't think I don't notice
A
That our eyes never meet
D
Don't laugh at me
Bm
Don't call me names
G A
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
D Bm
In God's eyes we're all the same
G A
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
D
Don't laugh at me
G D/F# Em A
I'm fat, I'm thin, I'm short, I'm tall
G D/F# Em A
I'm deaf, I'm blind, yes, I think in a way, we're all
D
Don't laugh at me
Bm
Don't call me names
G A
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
D Bm
In God's eyes we're all the same
G A
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
D
Don't laugh at me
G D/F# Em A
I'm fat, I'm thin, I'm short, I'm tall
G D/F# Em A
I'm deaf, I'm blind, yes, I think in a way, we're all
G D/F# Em A
I'm black, I'm white and I am brown
G D/F# Em A
I'm Christian, I'm Jewish, and I am Muslim
G D/F# Em A
I'm gay, I'm lesbian, I'm American Indian
G D/F# Em A
I'm very, very young, I'm quite aged
G D/F# Em A
I'm very wealthy, I'm very, very poor
D
Don't laugh at me
Bm
Don't call me names
G A
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
D Bm
In God's eyes we're all the same
G A
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
D
Don't laugh at me
Bm A
My country 'tis of thee
Bm A
Oh, sweet land of liberty
G A D Bm G A D
It is of thee that I sing
