[Verse 1]
G                             Bm/F#
Peering out of tiny eyes, the grubby hands that gripped the rail.
 F                               C/E                     G
Wiped the window clean of frost, as the morning air laid on the latch
    G                                  Bm/F#
A whistle awakened someone there, next door to the nursery just down the hall
     F
A strange new sound you never heard before.
    C/E                         G            C9/G
A strange new sound that makes boys explore


[Verse 2]
  G                                     Bm/F#
Tread neat so small those little feet, a-mid the morning his small heart beats.
    F                             C/E                G
So much excitement yesterday, must be rewarded, must be displayed
Am                        D            Bm                 E4            E/D
  Large hands lift him through the air.  Excited eyes contain him there.
C                       G              F                       D4        D
  The eyes of those he loves and knows.  But what's this extra bed just here?

[Verse 3]
     G                                 Bm/F#
His puzzled head tipped to one side.  Amazement swims in those bright green eyes.
  F                                 C/E                            G
Glancing down upon this thing that makes strange sounds, strange sounds that sing
G                                      Bm/F#
In those silent happy seconds that sur-round the sound of this event
   F                                C/E                      G
a parent's smile is made in moments.     They have made for you a friend.
Am                   D4           D     Bm                     E4    E
   And all you ever learned from them  -  until you grew much older
Am                    C              G              Bm/F#     Em       G7/F
Did not compare with when they said,  This is your brand new bro - ther.
Cmaj9          D6       G         D/F#
This is your brand new bro - ther.
Cmaj7/E       D4    D   G
This is your brand new bro - ther.
