Orphan by Pete Bernhard
Orphan
G
called a friend the other day
D7
to see what kind of words hed say
C D7 G
he said, "I just met a man down here and his girlfriend dont like you"
So give me a number, her address
D7
and Ill see if I can do my best
C D7 G
to avoid her the next time Im passing through
Never been much for following rules
D7
always go out and act the fool
C D7 G
and something bad would happen by and by
I cant say Im always proud of myself
D7
But I dont wish I was somebody else
C D7 G
Infact Id rather be me then you
G F# F D7
But a lot of people dont like me
C D7 G
not my music I hear; personally
D7
gonna tell you how to act and what to say
C D7 G
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave
C A7 D7
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave
G
Well I went to a party in the middle of the night
D7
crawling up the stairs and thats alright
C D7 G
I pictured the who place in flames and it made me smile
I wonder why I thought such terrible things
D7
a voice in my head heard the telephone ring
C D7 G
picked up and said, "weve been wondering for a while"
Walked in a wall, spelt in the dirt
D7
got punched in the face I admit that it hurt
C D7 G
and I had enemies that I call my friends
But it dosnt matter if I get low down
D7
because Im the one riding on the hear right now
C D7 G
and all I gotta do is use my imagination
G F# F D7
But a lot of people dont like me
C D7 G
not my music I hear; personally
D7
gonna tell you how to act and what to say
C D7 G
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave
C A7 D7
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave
G
Well theres been sometimes I was under the gun
D7
and when I was I intended to run
C D7 G
it was important but it wasnt worth dying for
someone said he who fights and runs away
D7
can avoid getting killed another day
C D7 G
so I made a point of every window and every door
but all these people they gather round
D7
my heart goes backwards my head drops down
C D7 G
I hear my voice say things I told it not to
Couldn't say who it was directed at
D7
and why I chose to say something like that
C D7 G
and now what I truly plan to do
G F# F D7
But a lot of people dont like me
C D7 G
what i hear now out on the street
D7
gonna tell you how to act and what to say
C D7 G
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave
C D7 G
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave
C A7 D7
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave
