Well my mama didn't want me

On the day I was born
                   A7         A7
I was born without a body
                  D           D
I got nothing but scorn
                   D             D
But I always loved music
                 D                D
All I had was my hands
                 A7          A7
I dreamed I'd be famous
                    D             D

But I had a strong left hand
