When we [Dm] rehearsed for [Abm] this tour up in Brisbane, _
_ me getting towards the age of senility,
I had to rehearse [A] most of these lyrics again
because I hadn't sung them for so [F] long.
And it [B] made me realise how [Eb] lovely
some of these early [A] Bernie Taubman songs [G] were.
I only [A] actually wrote them when I was about [E] 16 or 17.
[Abm] This is one of my favourites from that era,
[N] and it's called The Greatest Discovery. _ _

_ [G] The earing out of tiny eyes
[Bm] The grubby hands that grip the rail
[F] Wipe the window clean of frost
[C]
At [Em] the morning [C] air
_ [G] Late on the latch
[C] _ _ [G] Whistle awake on someone there
[Bm] Next door to the nursery
Just down the hall
[F] A strange new sound you never heard before
[C] A strange new sound
_ That [G] makes boys _ explore
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ [G] Treadin' each so small
Those little feet
[Bm] Amid the morning Small heartbeats
[F] So much excitement yesterday _
[C] Must be rewarded
_ Must [G] _
be displayed
_ _ [Am] Large _ _ _ _ hands [D] lifting through the air
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ Excited eyes [E] contain him there
_ [C] The _ eyes of those [G] he loves and knows
[C] _ [F] _ _ _ But what's this [D] extra pair just here? _
[G] It's double-deck to do one side
[Bm] _ Amazement swims in those dark green eyes
[F] Glancing down upon this thing
[C] That makes strange sounds
_ [G] Strange sounds that _ [C] sing
_ _ [G] In those silent happy seconds
[Bm] That surround the sounds of this event
[F] A parent's smile is made in [C] moments _ _ _
They're gotten mad [G] when you were afraid _
_ [Am] And _ _ all you hear [D] _ from them
_ I'm [Bm] _ _ _ _ teary [E]-eyed to hold on
_ This [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
is [Bm] your brand new [Em] brother _
[G] This _ _ [C] _ _ is [D] your brand new [G] brother _ _
[Bm] [D] This _ [C] _ _ is [D] your brand new [G] _ brother _
