SCORN NOT HIS SIMPLICITY - PHIL COULTER

[ C5 ]See the child, with the golden hair but[ D5 ] eyes that show the emptyness inside
[ G5 ]Do we know, can we understand just[ C5 ] how he feels or have we really tried
[ C5 ]See him now, as he stands alone and[ D5 ] watches children play a children's game
[ G5 ]Simple child, he looks almost like the[ C5 ] others yet they know he's not the same
 
[ A5 ]Scorn not[ F5 ] his simplicity but[ C5 ] rather try to love him all the more,
[ A5 ]Scorn not[ F5 ] his simplicity oh[ G5 ] no,oh[ G5 ] no.
 
[ C5 ]See him stare, not recognizing that kind[ D5 ] face that only yesterday he loved
[ G5 ]The loving face, of a mother who cant[ C5 ] understand what she's been guilty of
[ C5 ]How she cried, tears of happyness the day[ D5 ] the doctor told her its a boy
[ G5 ]Now she cries, tears of helplessness and[ C5 ] thinks of all the things he can't enjoy
 
[ A5 ]Scorn not[ F5 ] his simplicity but[ C5 ] rather try to love him all the more
[ A5 ]Scorn not[ F5 ] his simplicity oh[ G5 ] no,oh[ G5 ] no.

SOLO
 
[ C5 ]Only he, knows how to face the future[ D5 ] hopefully surrounded by dispair.
[ G5 ]He wont ask, for your pity or your[ C5 ] sympathy but surly you must care.
 
[ A5 ]Scorn not[ F5 ] his simplicity but[ C5 ] rather try to love him all the more,
[ A5 ]Scorn not[ F5 ] his simplicity oh[ G5 ] no,oh[ G5 ] no,oh[ C5 ] no
