The names of the chords may not match but the fingering does:
A/C# - 042220
D/A - XX0235 use pinky on 5
When I first met his momma, she was just 19
Couldn't say for certain who the father was
su
But I have known him since he was a pup
And I'm gonna raise him up
If you never knew your daddy like I never knew mine
It feels like everybody knows you're fatherless
This boy may not be blood of my blood
But I'm gonna raise him up
Chorus:
I'll provide for him, walk beside of him, I am strong enough
Cause it's time he knew what a son can do with a father's love
He can change the world
You have to look at joseph a couple thousand years ago
When he held a newborn baby he named jesus
He said he may not be blood of my blood
Still I'm gonna raise him up
33 years later, when the son was in his grave
Broken and abandoned by a world he came to save
His real dad said he's mine blood of my blood
And I'm gonna raise him up
And he can change your world
But you gotta raise him up
Raise him up
