Verse 1:
F7
Hush now my little baby
C

Time to sleep, Time to forget everything
F7
Hush now my little baby
C
Time to sleep, it's the safest place to be
F7                          C
And may the years carry you gently
        F7                      C
May the wonder never leave your heart
        F7                          C
May the colours of the darkness not scare you
            F7                       C
And may the sound of my voice always hold you
F7           C
Long after I can't
F7           C      F7   C
Long after I can't


Verse 2:
F7
Wake now my little darling
C
Time to see, Time to begin everything
F7
Up now my little darling
C                                         F7
Time to see all the things this world can be
                                C
But how I hope some things stay hidden
           F7                          C
Until your sweet heart has strength to see
      F7                                C
For below all these soft clouds there's darkness
      F7                      C
And a poison that looks oh so sweet
F7                C
Oh, stay close to me
          F7                        C
Won't you always stay this close to me

(Vocalisations, on Ah then oo)


Verse 3:
F7
Come now my little grown boy
C
Let me see you, Tell me about everything
F7
Come now my little grown boy
  C                                         F7
I know you're strong but today it seems I'm not
                              C
For the world feels like it's running
        F7                      C
And I'm back here, two feet in mud
          F7                           C
Can you believe I once thought I'd protect you?
                         F7                   C
When the truth is you're stronger than I ever was
F7                C
You're my son, my moon
                            F7                     C
Won't you promise me you'll come back and visit me again soon


Outro:
F7    C      F7     C      F7     C      F7    C
  Ah     Ah     Ah            Ah     Ah
