Child Star Chords & Lyrics - Tyrannosaurus Rex

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

[C]Child star, protegee of Mister Gormez who said you'd go [Am]far
[C]Child star, they do not see just what a precious g[Am]em 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
They're un-aware of all the angel sounds they see and hea[C]r

De[C]bussy and [Am]Mendelssohn Ha[C]ndel and [Am]Dvorak they [C]hear

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

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