It Wasnt His Child

D


[Verse 1]
D       A   Bm      A           G
 He was her man and she was his wife
    A               D
And late one winter night
   A        Bm     A        G
He knelt by her as she gave birth
                 Esus4  E              G
But it wasn't his child, it wasn't his child


[Verse 2]
D    A        Bm       A      G
 Yet still he took him as his own
    A                 D
And as he watched him grow
   A           Bm      A    G
It brought him joy, he loved that boy
                 Esus4  E             G          A
But it wasn't his child, it wasn't his child


[Chorus]
Bm           A             G                   Bm       A
  And like a father he was strong and kind and good
G        D               A
 And I believe he did his best
Bm          A                G             Bm       A
  It wasn't easy for him but he did all he could
G           D                  A
 His son was different from the rest
             G                    Esus4     E
It wasn't his child, it wasn't his child

[Verse 3]
D    A      Bm    A      G
 And as the boy became a man
   A                 D
He took his father's hand
    A        Bm          A   G
And soon the world would all know why
             Esus4  E             G          A
It wasn't his child, it wasn't his child


[Chorus]
Bm             A             G                   Bm      A
  And like his father he was strong and kind and good
G        D               A
 And I believe he did his best
Bm          A                G             Bm
  It wasn't easy for him but he did all he could
        Bm          A        G
He grew up with his hands in wood
       E             D     G
And he died with his hands in wood
       A     Bm    A       E
He was God's child, he was God's child
