Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
C       F      G Am          G

Verse:
C
The market is empty
F                               G Am
The butcher's gone home
                                        G
The candles have spent - soon the light will be gone
C

Soften your brow, dear
F                       G Am
Breath slow and deep
                                G
Let your eyes close as you drift off to sleep


Pre-Chorus:
C
The moon in the window
F                       G Am
The sun in the sea
                        G               C
Now is the quiet - just baby and me

Chorus:
F                   G          C              F
And the sun will sleep in the ocean tonight
F                   G          C              F
And the cool of the water makes everything right
F                   G          C              F
And the ocean once dreamed it could shine high above
F               C              G              C
But protecting, reflecting the sun is enough


Verse:
C
We used to go dancing
F                               G Am
We used to drink wine
                                G
We used to buy flowers and now we buy time
C                       F                      G Am
Mommy and daddy would work bear our hands
                                G
To make sure you have all you need in this land


Pre-Chorus:
C
The moon in the window
F                       G Am
The sun in the sea
                        G               C
Now is the quiet - just baby and me

Chorus:
F                   G          C              F
And the sun will sleep in the ocean tonight
F                   G          C              F
And the cool of the water makes everything right
F                   G          C              F
And the ocean once dreamed it could shine high above
F               C              G              C
But protecting, reflecting the sun is enough


Final chorus:
F                   G          C              F
And the sun will sleep in the ocean tonight
F                   G          C              F
And the cool of the water makes everything right
F                   G          C              F
And the ocean once dreamed it could shine high above
F               C              G              C
But protecting, reflecting the sun is enough

F               C              G              C
Protecting, reflecting the sun is enough
