Johnny Mathis - When a child is born

^D*Then p^Glay one^G/D set of v^Derse chords* [Verse 1] A ray of ^Dhope ^Aflickers in the ^Dsk^G/Dy ^D A tiny ^Dstar ^Glights up ^D/F#way up ^Ahi^Asus4gh ^A All a^Gcross the land, ^Adawns a ^A/Gbrand new ^F#mmorn ^BmThis comes to ^Apass ^Emwhen a ^A7child is ^Dbo^G/Drn ^D

A silent ^Dwish ^Asails the seven ^Dse^G/Das ^D The winds of ^Dchange ^Gwhisper ^D/F#in the ^Atr^Asus4ees ^A And the ^Gwalls of doubt ^Acrumble, ^A/Gtossed and ^F#mtorn ^BmThis comes to ^Apass ^Emwhen a ^A7child is ^Dbo^G/Drn ^D

A rosy ^Dhue ^Asettles all arou^Dnd^{G/D D} You've got the ^Dfeel ^Gyou're on ^D/F#solid ^Agr^Asus4ound ^A For a ^Gspell or two, ^Ano-one ^A/Gseems for^F#mlorn ^Bm This comes to ^Apass ^Emwhen a ^A7child is ^Dbo^G/Drn ^D

^N.C.And all of this happens because the world is waiting, ^N.C.Waiting for one child ^N.C.Black, white, yellow, no-one knows ^N.C.But a child that will grow up and turn tears to laughter, ^N.C.Hate to love, war to peace and everyone to everyone's neighbour ^N.C.And misery and suffering will be words to be forgotten, forever

It's all a ^Ddream, ^Aan illusion ^Dno^G/Dw ^D It must come ^Dtrue, ^Gsometime ^D/F#soon some^Aho^Asus4w ^A All a^Gcross the land, ^Adawns a ^A/Gbrand new ^F#mmorn ^BmThis comes to ^Apass ^Emwhen a ^A7child is ^Dbo^G/Drn ^D
