     He was her man, she was his wife and late one winter night 
     D/F#     Em      D          C 
He knelt by her as she gave birth 
                       Asus A                 C D G 
But it wasn't his child, it wasn't his child 
          D/F#    Em         D       C                                  D    G 
     Yet he still took him as his own, and as he watched him grow 
    D/F#         Em      D            C 
It brought him joy, he loved that boy 
                       Asus A                C    D Em 
But it wasn't his child, it wasn't his child

      Chorus: But like a father he was strong and kind and good 
                     C          G                   Dsus  D 
                     And I believe he did his best 
                    Em        Bm                    C                 Em 
                     It wasn't easy for him, but he did all he could 
                     C                G                      D  
                     His son was different from the rest 
                                       C                        Asus A   C D G 
                     It wasn't his child, it wasn't his child 
 
           D/F#       Em     D         C                        D        G 
     And when the boy became a man, he took his father's hand 
G     D/F#     Em            D           C 
And soon the world would all know why 
                 Asus A                 C D Em 
It wasn't his child, it wasn't his child

                 And I believe he did his best

                 It wasn't easy for him, but he did all he could 
                                              D              C  
                 He grew up with his hands in wood 
                            Em             D            C   
                 And he died with his hands in wood 
                                      Em D                    Asus A 
                 He was God's child, He was God's child
