The Greatest Discovery
Music by Elton John, Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
G Bm
Peering out of tiny eyes, the grubby hands that grip the rail
F C D
G
Wiped the window clean of frost, as the morning air laid on the ledge
G Bm
A whistle awakened someone there, next door to the nursery just down the
hall
F C
A strange new sound you never heard before, a strange new sound that makes
G
boys explore
G Bm
Tread neat so small those little feet, amid the morning his small heart beats
F
C G D
G
So much excitement yesterday, That must be rewarded must be displayed
C D
Large hands lift him through the air
Bm B7
Excited eyes contain him there
C G
The eyes of those he loves and knows
F C D
But what's this extra bed just here
G Bm
His puzzled head tipped to one side, amazement swims in those bright green
eyes
F
C D
Glancing down upon this thing, That makes strange sounds, strange sounds
G
that sing
G Bm
In those silent happy seconds, that surround the sound of this event
F
C D G
A parent smile is made in moments, they have made for you a friend
C D
And all you ever learned from them
Bm B7
Until you grew much older
C
Did not compare with when they said
G D G
This is your brand new brother G7
C D G
This is your brand new brother 2x
