Somebody nobody knows
1. Alone in a barroom
a young girl is sitting
G D
and smiling at
nothing at all,
A
and she stares now
and then at the eyes of the men,
A7 D - A
in the mirror that
hangs on the wall.
2. She's waiting for
someone and knowing there's no one,
G D
who cares if she
comes or she goes.
A
Just a soul in the shadows, the world never
sees,
A7 D
- D7
she's somebody
nobody knows.
Someone no one's ever
known, crying where no one can hear,
G A D A A7 D
somebody's dying alone in a city where nobody cares.
3. Down in the gutter
an old man has fallen,
G D
like something the
world threw away.
A
The late crowd was leaving,
and nobody even
A7 D - A
took time to look
down where he lay.
4. The old man was
crying and helplessly trying
G D
to wipe off the
stain from his clothes.
A
Just a soul in the shadows that life left
behind,
A7 D
he's somebody
nobody knows. + CHORUS
