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
