             The Child With A Star On His Head






Capo 2

F Em Am 
Dm Em Am

C                   Am                     Dm                G                      
Once in a while, you may think you see better than the others
    Em7                    C                  Am                      G
Scrambling around in the dark with your drum
C                Am                           Dm            G                      
There is a time when young men must grow up and be brothers
   Em7    C           Am                   G
Are you afraid of growing too fast?

  Dm                   C               F
And the child with the star on his head
Am              Em                      F
All of the world rests on his shoulders
Dm                       C                   F
And the mother with the child on her breast
Am            Em                 F
Blessed is she among women

Dm                       C
And the trust we put in things
       Dm                      G
In small ideas, in engineering
Am                                    G
The world of sports and second best
      F                         C                         G
In consequences we will not put to rest

C Am F G Em
C Am G
Dm C F Am Em F Am

C                   Am            F
Why crawl around in the snow
                   G             
When you know I am right here
 Em7             C         Am                         G
Waiting for you to expect something more?

C           Am                F               G                Em7
For I am warm, I am calling you close to my table
                       C              Am
Where I have made us a feast 
            G
For the year of troubles, they have gone
The winter brings a Christmas song

 Dm                   C               F
And the child with the star on his head
Am              Em                      F
All of the world rests on his shoulders
Dm                       C                   F
And the mother with the child on her breast
Am            Em                 F
Blessed is she among women

(Same as Chorus^)
Does all the world know better than
When Christmas comes the troubles end
The troubles end, the troubles end
And by the time thereā„¢s nothing left
An empty tree, a winter vest
A winter vest, a winter vest

Dm                           C
And all the trust we put in things
Dm                       G
In dictionaries, in engineering
Am                       Em 
In calendars, and television
F                                                    G
In father's friends, in consequences
