[Verse 1]
There's [D]silver [A]spoons in the mouth
Baby clothes are [D]baby blue
Nothing's ever handed [G]down
[A]Everything's brand [Bm]new
[A]
Newspaper [G]notices
[A]Herald in that gre[D]at event
Daddy's bunnies and the flower[G]s,
mother's friends of baby
[A]showers
Welcoming that [F#]heaven [Bm]-sent
That [A]firstborn [D]son is al[A]ways the [D]one
The [A]first to [D]be called and
[A]the last to [D]come
He's [F#]his mother's favorite,
[Bm]his gran[F#]dmother's too
[D]He'll break their hearts
[G]and He'll bre[A]ak yours too
[D]For He's the[A] first to gri[D]eve
and [A]the first to crawl
[D]The [A]first to [D]walk and [A]the first to fall
[D]Every bru[F#]ise is kis[Bm]sed,
every [F#]cry is h[D]eard
Every doubt is cast [G]out
with a [A]soothing word
[D]Cause he's that [A]firstborn [D]son,
[A]the special one
[D]No matter [A]what comes [D]next,
no matter [A]what comes [D]wrong
He's [F#]another boy,
[Bm]or a sweet[F#] baby girl[Bm]
[D]A family in the o[G]yster,
and [A]he is the [D]pearl
