Don't Laugh At Me - Peter, Paul, & Mary plus 2 lines by Cal Jennings

I took the words from the version that Peter, Paul, & Mary did at the tribute concert for Harold Leventhal and added a couple of lines and intend to do a cover if I can find the right musicians. I want to use someone who is great with the piano. If you have any suggestions or additions, I'd be glad to consider them.


Don't Laugh At Me

D
I'm a little boy with glasses

The one they call a geek

Bm
A little girl who never smiles

'Cause I have braces on my teeth

G
And I know how it feels to cry myself to sleep

D
I'm that kid on every playground

Who's always chosen last

Bm
A single teenage mother

Tryin' to overcome my past

G
You don't have to be my friend

A
But is it too much to ask

D
Don't laugh at me

Bm
Don't call me names

G A
Don't get your pleasure from my pain

D Bm
In God's eyes we're all the same

G A
Someday we'll all have perfect wings

D
Don't laugh at me

D
I'm the beggar on the corner

You've passed me on the street

Bm
And I wouldn't be out here beggin'

If I had enough to eat

G
And don't think I don't notice

A
That our eyes never meet

D
Don't laugh at me

Bm
Don't call me names

G A
Don't get your pleasure from my pain

D Bm
In God's eyes we're all the same

G A
Someday we'll all have perfect wings

D
Don't laugh at me

G D A D
If I'm fat, I'm thin, I'm short, I'm tall

G D A Bm
I'm deaf, I'm blind, I'm disabled, in a way, we are all

G D A D
I'm black, I'm white, I am brown

G D A
I'm Jewish, I'm Christian, I'm Muslim

G D A Bm G D
I was born in Sarajevo, I was born in Kosovo,

G D A
I was born in Latvia, I'm from San Francisco

G D A D
I was born in Northern Ireland, I was born in Africa

G D A Bm
I'm of the Hutu tribe, I'm of the Tutsi tribe

I'm the very very young, I'm quite aged

G D G A
I'm very, very wealthy and I am very, very poor

D
Don't laugh at me

Bm
Don't call me names

G A
Don't get your pleasure from my pain

D Bm
In God's eyes we're all the same

G A
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
