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
