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
