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 G C G G/F# Em7
Nothing but a child could wash those tears away
C D/F# C D/F# G
Or guide a weary world into the light of day
C G C G G/F# Em7
Nothing but a child could help erase those miles
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 G C G G/F# Em7
Nothing but a child could wash those tears away
C D/F# C D/F# G
Or guide a weary world into the light of day
C G C G G/F# Em7
Nothing but a child could help erase those miles
C D/F# C D/F# G
So once again we all can be children for a while
