Child of man - Noa *: 004230 Dsus7/9*: XX0220 *: 005430 /#: 012020 If I were a desert flower All winter long I’d pain and cower Spring would make me sing My voice would ring As tiny buds begin to bloom In spring I’d blossom and forget The winters gloom. If I were a brook of water Kissed by the frost along my borders Spring would make me sing my voice would ring As I’d release my ice chains In spring I’d bubble and forget the winter’s rains. But I am only a child of man I am only a child of man Just an innocent child of man Don’t look so surprised as my eyes shine and glow It’s the sunlight in the skies that is making me so.

But I am only a child of man I am only a child of man Just an innocent child of man Don’t look so surprised as my eyes shine and glow It’s the sunlight in the skies that is making me so. [X2] Don’t be surprised - By this look in my eyes Like a flower or tree - I will bloom in the spring I will shed all my woes - As the green grass grows Like a flower or tree - I will throw my head back and sing If I were a desert flower desert flower..
