G Peering out of tiny eyes Bm/F# The grubby hands that gripped the rail F Wiped the window clean of frost C/E G As the morning air laid on the latch A whistle awakened someone there Next door to the nursery just down the hall A strange new sound you never heard before A strange new sound that makes boys explore Tread neat so small those little feet Amid the morning his small heart beats So much excitement yesterday That must be rewarded must be displayed Am D D/C Large hands lift him through the air Bm7 Esus4 E Excited eyes contain him there C G The eyes of those he loves and knows F6 Dsus4 D7 But what's this extra bed just here His puzzled head tipped to one side Amazement swims in those bright green eyes Glancing down upon this thing That make strange sounds, strange sounds that sing In those silent happy seconds That surround the sound of this event A parent smile is made in moments They have made for you a friend Am Dsus4 D And all you ever learned from them Bm7 Esus4 E Until you grew much older Am C Did not compare with when they said G Bm Em G7 This is your brand new brother Cmaj7 D6 G D/F# This is your brand new brother Cmaj7/E Dsus4 D G This is your brand new brother You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  Cm  C Cmaj7  Cmaj  D  Dsus4  D6  D7  E  Em  Esus4  F  F#  F6  G  G7  Bm  Bm7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
