Orphan girl (g. welch)

[Rick Albertson]

I'm trying to find the notation for the song Orphan Girl performed by Gillian Welch and others. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks. Rick

Here's a start with the chords and lyric. BTW, Gillian writes some powerful songs and this is one of my favorites of hers.


ORPHAN GIRL (Gillian Welch)
from "REVIVAL" (ALMO, AMSD-80006)

CAPO 1

VERSE 1
G # # # # # # # # # # # #D
I am an orphan, on God's highway
# # # # # # # # #G # # # # # # # # # C
But I'll share my troubles, if you go my way
# # # # #G # # # # #D # # # # #G # # # # #C
I have no mother, no father, no sister, no brother
G # # # #D # # #G
I am an orphan girl

VERSE 2
I have had friendships, pure and golden
But the ties of kinship, I have not know them
I know no mother, no father, no sister, no brother
I am an orphan girl

VERSE 3
But when he calls me, I will be able
To meet my family, at God's table
I'll meet my mother, my father, my sister, my brother
No more an orphan girl

VERSE 4
Blessed savior, make me willing
And walk beside me, until I'm with them
Be my mother, my father, my sister, my brother
I am an orphan girl

Thanks, Scot. I'm actually looking for the sheet music (notation) for Orphan Girl.
