GMy friends all say that I am just a Cblack sheep
And D7that I’m not wanted here Gbelow
They say that I’m not worthy to be Cnear them
Please D7tell me God where can a black sheep Ggo
I never had no one down here to Clove me
You D7see I’ve never met my mom and Gdad
They went away when I was just a Csmall boy
Not D7many kind friends have I ever Ghad
Could D7You make room in heaven for a Gblack sheep
Could you A7love me and treat me as your D7own
GOr will I still be treated like an Coutcast
A D7black sheep who must always play Galone
The clothes may not be pretty that I’m Cwearing
But D7you know that I can’t help the way I Glook
I wonder if you’d search the holy Cpages
And D7tell me if my name is in Your Gbook

G C

My friends all say that I am just a black sheep

D7 G

And that I’m not wanted here below

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

D7 G

Please tell me God where can a black sheep go

I never had no one down here to love me

D7 G

You see I’ve never met my mom and dad

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

The clothes may not be pretty that I’m wearing

D7 G

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

I wonder if you’d search the holy pages

D7 G

And tell me if my name is in Your book
