Lullaby

(início)

     Am
When I was young
     C
And scared of the Lord
   G                      Am
My mother would sing me a song
  Am                     C
A tune that I keep in a sacred place
        G                          Am
Cause I know that my life won't be long
   F#m                          C
It tells of the place where you go
          G                       Am
When your time here on earth is through
   F                       C
A beautiful place we call heaven
      Em
Is it true
                             Am
Please God I pray that it's true
        Am                C
'Cause once this land was heaven on earth
       G                       Am
Green hills were all you could see
    Am                 C
But now it's soot and steel and brick
       G                      Am
So it looks more like hell to me
    F                              C
And each day brings more and more suffering
    G                          Am
And each night is silence and fear
       F                        C
And I wake to the sound of your voice
               Em
But you're not here
               Am
Why aren't you here?
   Am           C
So now I lay me down to sleep
   G
I pray the lord
   Am
My soul to keep
       Am          C
Please let me die before I wake
       G                 Am
So the Lord my soul, can take
      F                       C
Then maybe I'll finally find you
           G              Am
'Midst the beauty of paradise
            F
And you'll sing not of dying
    C
But living
                 Em
Wouldn't that be nice?
                 Am
Wouldn't that be nice?
