_ _ _ For his age he is wise, _ _ [Db] _ he's got [Ab] his mother's eye,

_ _ _ As his youth now _ _ [Db] unfolds, he is centuries [Ab] _
old,
_ _ _ Just to [F] see him play, [Fm] _ [Eb] oh it makes me smile. _ _ _

_ [Ab] Oh, and if I fall along the way, _ [Db] _ I can't see [Dbm] another day,

_ _ [Ab] _ _ But till man loses his _ faith, [Db] _ in righteousness' [Dbm] _
name,
_ [Ab] Lord, [Eb] oh Lord, [Ab] protect my child. _ _ _
_ Lord, oh _ _ [Eb] Lord, _ [Abm] protect [Ab] my child.
