Chords with lyrics

Charlie Robison - Barlight (Honky Tonk Nursery Rhyme)
Capo on the second fret

   G+G
Well when I was young my momma read me
C majorC
Nursery rhymes beside my bed
  G+G
And though they sounded mighty fine
   D MajorD
They made no sense to me
  G+G
But now that I am all grown up
  C majorC
It seems my life has changed as such
  G+G
So I went out and made me up
 D MajorD         G+G
A augmentedA nursery Rhyme for me

    G+G
It goes bar light, bar bright
C majorC
First bar that I see tonight
 G+G
I wish I may I wish I might
D MajorD
Find someone to hold me tight
G+G
Hey diddle diddle, a man with a fiddle
    C majorC
And the girls sing along with the tunes
   G+G
Just one more dance til you turn out the lights
    D MajorD       G+G
And you can shut down this saloon


   G+G
Well I never understood how a big old gal
 C majorC
Could raise no kids in a shoe
   G+G
And any old Jack goes jumping in a candle
    D MajorD
Needs to find something better to do
  G+G
And rub a dub dub, three men in a tub
 C majorC
Sure sounds kind of funny to me
   G+G
So I made up a honky tonk nursery rhyme
  D MajorD           G+G
and it's the only one I'll sing


    G+G
It goes bar light, bar bright
C majorC
First bar that I see tonight
 G+G
I wish I may I wish I might
D MajorD
Find someone to hold me tight
G+G
Hey diddle diddle, a man with a fiddle
    C majorC
And the girls sing along with the tunes
   G+G
Just one more dance til you turn out the lights
    D MajorD       G+G
