Nothing but a Child Steve Earle
Verse 1:
G Cmaj7 D/f#
Once upon a time In a far off land
C D/f# C D/f# G
Wise men saw a sign And set out 'cross the sand
G Cmaj7 D/f#
Songs of praise to sing They travelled day and night
C D/f# C D/f# G
Precious gifts to bring Guided by the light.
Verse 2:
G Cmaj7 D/f#
They chased a brand new star Ever towards the west
C D/f# C D/f# G
Across the mountains far But when it came to rest
G Cmaj7 D/f#
They scarce believed their eyes They'd come so many miles
C D/f# C D/f# G
The miracle they prized Was nothing but a child
Chorus:
[C]Nothing [G]but a [C]child Could[G] wash those[G/F#] tears a[Em7]way
C D/f# C D/f# G
Or guide a weary world Into the light of day
[C]Nothing [G]but a [C]child Could[G] help erase[G/F#] those m[Em7]iles
C D/f# C D/f# G
So once again we all Can be children for a while.
G G Cmaj7 D/f# G
Verse 3:
G Cmaj7 D/f#
Now all around the world In every little town
C D/f# C D/f# G
Every day is heard A precious little sound
G Cmaj7 D/f#
And every mother kind And every father, proud
C D/f# C D/f# G
Looks down in awe to find Another chance allowed
Chorus:
[C]Nothing [G]but a [C]child Could[G] wash those[G/F#] tears a[Em7]way
C D/f# C D/f# G
Or guide a weary world Into the light of day
[C]Nothing [G]but a [C]child Could[G] help erase[G/F#] those m[Em7]iles
C D/f# C D/f# G
So once again we all Can be children for a while.
