Child Star

	  		D9 
Mountain eyes, peeping out if his head (-ah) 
Sipping tea, composing in his bed (-ah) 
                                           C 
A hundred hands working on a musical of old 
   C        Am            C        Am        C 
Debussy and Mendelssohn Handel and Dvorak of old 

C                                                       Am 
Child star, protegee of Mister Gormez who said you'd go far 
C                                                 Am 
Child star, they do not see just what a precious gem you'd be 

(slightly slower) 
D 
Sad to see them watching you fade into in (-ah) invisibilty 

D9 
Twelve years old, your elvish fingers kiss your  
Beethoven hair the awesome people stare 
                                                         C 
They're un-aware of all the angel sounds they see and hear 

  C         Am            C        Am          C 
Debussy and Mendelssohn Handel and Dvorak they hear 

C                                                     Am 
Child star, protegee of Mister Gomez who said you'd go far 
C                                                            Am 
Child star, and when you died at just thirteen they wept and wrung their hair 

(slightly slower) 
D 
Sad to see them mourning you and you are there within the flowers and the trees 
C                                                     Am 
Child star, protegee of Mister Gomez who said you'd go far
