_ _ Oh, dear me.
Thank you very much.
It's time now in the program to introduce my partner and lyric writer, Bernie Taupin.
He's probably more important than me when it comes to writing the songs
because he has to write the words before I write the music.
So can I have a warm hand, please, for Bernie Taupin?
Thank you. _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ We'd like to do one of Bernie's best ever lyrics.
It's really [Bb] beautiful. _
_ [Abm] It features Paul Buckmaster on solo [G] cello.
The number is called The Greatest Discovery. _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ [G] Hearing how the tiny eyes, [Bm] the grubby hands that grip the rail
_ _ [F] wipe the window clean of frost [C] as the morning air _ [G] laid on the latch
_ _ _ Whistle awakens someone there, [Bm] next door to the nursery just down the hall
[F] A strange new sound you've never heard before
[C] A strange new sound _ that [G] makes boys explore _
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [G] Treadneed so small, those little feet [Bm] amid the morning his small heart beats
[F] So much excitement yesterday, and it [C] must be rewarded, _ _ _ [G] must be _ displayed _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ Large hands [D] lifting through the _ air, _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ excited eyes [E] _ containing _ them
_ [C] The _ eyes of _ those he [G] loves and _ knows, _ [F] _ _ but [Dm] what's this extra [D] _ bed just here?
[G] His puzzled head tipped to one side, [Bm] _ amazement swims in those bright green eyes
[F] _ Glancing down upon this thing [Em] that makes [C] strange sounds, _ strange [G] sounds that say _
[C] _ [G] In _ those silent happy [Bm] seconds that surround the sound of this event
[F] A parent's smile is made in moments [C] _ _ _ they _ have [G] made for you a friend _
_ _ [Am] And _ _ _ all you ever [D] learned from them, _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ till you grew [E] my _ shoulder _ _
Did [Am] _ _ not compare _ [C] with the one they _ said
_ _ [G] _ This is [Bm] your brand new [Em] _ brother
_ [G] _ _
This [C] _ _ is your [D] brand _ [G] new _ brother
_ [Bm] _
_ _ [C] This _ is your [D] brand _ new [G] brother _
