F     Bb F    Bb   F      Bb   F C
 Down a-mong the  reeds and rushes
G    C  G    C  G     C   G   C
 A baby boy was found
Gm                 Gm       F     C
 His eyes as clear  as centuries
F       Bb  F    Bb   F      Bb   F C
 His silky hair was brown


[CHORUS]

 Never been lonely
Bb                F
 Never been lied to
C                        Bb
 Never had to scuffle in fear
F               Bb
 Nothing denied to
F              C
 Born at the instant
Bb                     F
 The church bells chi-ime
C                        Bb
 And the whole world whispering
F                  Bb
 Born at the right time

 We like to go down to restaurant row

 All the way from Washington   to Tokyo-oh-oh

 Upon their mother's breast
Gm              Gm         F     C
 They follow me  with open eyes

 Too many people on the bus from the airport

 Too many holes  in the crust of the earth
Gm
 The planet groans
Gm             F    C    F   Bb    F  Bb  F    Bb   F C
 Every time it registers  another bi-ir-irth
