Black Sheep

Tom: G

G                                   C
My friends all say that I am just a black sheep

    D7                       G
And that I’m not wanted here below

                                   C
They say that I’m not worthy to be near them

       D7                                  G
Please tell me God where can a black sheep go


                                C
I never had no one down here to love me

    D7                            G
You see I’ve never met my mom and dad

                                 C
They went away when I was just a small boy

    D7                            G
Not many kind friends have I ever had


      D7                            G
Could You make room in heaven for a black sheep

          A7                           D7
Could you love me and treat me as your own

G                                  C
Or will I still be treated like an outcast

  D7                               G
A black sheep who must always play alone


                                       C
The clothes may not be pretty that I’m wearing

    D7                                   G
But you know that I can’t help the way I look

                                  C
I wonder if you’d search the holy pages

    D7                            G
And tell me if my name is in Your book
