Lyrics The Everly Brothers

The Everly Brothers

Somebody Nobody Knows

C C7

Alone in a barroom a young girl is sitting

F C

And smiling at nothing at all

G7

And she stares now and then at the eyes of the men

C G7

In the mirror that hangs on the wall

C C7

She's waiting for someone and knowing there's no one

F C

Who cares if she comes or she goes

G7

Just a soul in the shadows the world never sees

C C7

She's somebody nobody knows

F G7 C

Someone no one's ever known

G7 F C C7

Crying where no one can hear

F C

Somebody's dying alone

G7 C

In a city where nobody cares

C7

Down in the gutter an old man had fallen F C

Like something the world threw away

G7

The late crowd was leaving C G7

And nobody even took time to look down where he lay C

C7

The old man was crying and helplessly trying F C

To wipe off the stain from his clothes

G7

Just a soul in the shadows that life left behind

C

He's somebody nobody knows
