Introdução:  and Chorus G C F C Am G F G F G Em Am G Dm G7 C  

  C     G          C    F  C         
A ray of hope flickers in the sky   
      Am            G    F    G   
A tiny star lights up way up high   
    F           G          Em                          
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn  
Am          G     Dm    G7         C   G7 C 
This comes to pass when a child is born   
           G           C   F   C       
A silent wish sails the seven seas  
            Am          G       F   G 
The winds of change whisper in the trees   
     F          G           Em  
And the walls of doubt crumble 
                Am           G    Dm     G7      C    G7 C 
Tossed and torn this comes to pass when a child is born   
        G          C   F   C  G  
A rosy hue settles all around   
       Am                       G   F    
You've got the feel you're on solid ground   
      F                G            Em   C  
For a spell or two, no-one seems forlorn   
Am           G    Dm     G7        C  G7 
This comes to pass when a child is born   
        C     G        C   F   C   
It's all a dream, an illusion now  
         Am         G   F   G 
It must come true, sometime soon somehow   
     F          G          Em                          
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn  
Am           G    Dm     G7        C  G7 
This comes to pass when a child is born   
      C   G            C   F   C    
A ray of hope flickers in the sky 
          Am            G F   G 
A tiny star lights up way up high   
Am           G    Dm     G7        C  G7 C 
This comes to pass when a child is born  
     F          G          Em                          
All across the land, dawns a brand morn 
                    G         C    F    C                   
Hum. hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum 
               Am    G         F         G   
Hum. hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum  
    F           G          Em                          
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn  
Am           G    Dm     G7        C   G7 C 
This comes to pass when a child is born
