Tom: C

G                             Bm
Peering out of tiny eyes, The grubby hands that gripped the rail
F                                C                                    G
Wiped the window clean of frost, As the morning air laid on the latch

G                                 Bm
A whistle awakened someone there, Next door to the nursery just down the hall
F                                              C                                         G
A strange new sound you never heard before,  a strange new sound that makes boys explore

G                                       Bm
Tread neat so small those little feet, Amid the morning his small heart beats
 F                             C                                        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                     G
Glancing down upon this thing, That makes strange sounds, strange sounds that sing

G                                   Bm
In those silent happy seconds, That surround the sound of this event
F                              C                                    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
C                 D       G
This is your brand new brother
C                 D       G
This is your brand new brother
