    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.

    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.
