Chords for Elton John - The Greatest Discovery ('70 LIVE at BBC studios

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

_ _ _ _ [G] _ Hearing out her tiny [Bm] eyes, the grubby hands that grip the rail,
_ [B] wipe [F] 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 makes [G] 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 that [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 [G] he loves _ and _ knows.
[F] _ _ _
But [Dm] what's this [D] extra bed _ just here?
_ [G] His puzzled head tipped to one side, [Bm] _ amazement swims in those bright green [F] eyes,
glancing down upon this thing [Em] that makes strange sounds, [C] _ _ [G] strange sounds that sing.
_ [C] _ _ [G] In those silent happy seconds [Bm] 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] _ _
_ _ _ until you grew [E] much _ _ older.
_ _ _ [Am]
Does that compare _ [C] with what they _ said?
_ _ _ [G] _
This is your [Bm] _ brand new [Em] _
brother.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _
This is your [D] brand [G] new _ brother.
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ This is your [D] brand new _ _ [G] brother. _ _ _ _
